Not a guarantee. A hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, not a security audit.

Rescanned at commit 51d0ac2ea3b5, unchanged since the check below.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

    Makes a network call whose host is not written as a fixed address.

    CLAUDE.md, line 28 curl -4 -s https://devnode.telegraphprotocol.com/engine/v1/intents

  • NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low

    Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.

    CLAUDE.md, line 28 curl -4 -s https://devnode.telegraphprotocol.com/engine/v1/intents

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    .env.example, line 1 # Copy to .env for local runs. Set the same names in Vercel → Settings → Environment Variables.

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

    Reads an environment variable whose name contains KEY, SECRET, TOKEN, PASSWORD or CREDENTIAL.

    e2e/judge-journey.spec.ts, line 122 const key = process.env.MORSE_TEST_KEY ?? cachedKey() ?? (await issueKey(page));

Any High, or two or more Medium findings, give D. One Medium gives C. Low findings or a security Note give B. Each code names a finding behind the letter.

Grades are a hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, on the date checked, not a security audit or a guarantee. The free directory grades are automated. Before release, a PlugVet engineer reviews every paid report and any grade we hold back, including all F grades, against the source code and the evidence we quote.
