INSTALL_REMOTE_SCRIPT SECRETS_PATH_CREDENTIAL
Why this grade
- INSTALL_REMOTE_SCRIPT High
Fetches a script from the network and runs it (a pipe to a shell, or an install hook with a URL).
apps/web/scripts/check-links.mjs, line 92
// (e.g. the `curl https://nlqdb.com/install | sh` one-liner) where the bare - SECRETS_PATH_CREDENTIAL Medium
Mentions a credential store path (~/.ssh, id_rsa, .npmrc, .aws/credentials, credentials.json, .netrc).
docs/decisions/GLOBAL-010-keychain-credentials.md, line 18
config-file fallback, no `~/.nlqdb/credentials.json`.
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.
If you think this grade is wrong, email [email protected] with the entry link and your evidence. We aim to acknowledge within two working days and decide within seven. If we confirm an error, we aim to correct it within 24 hours of confirming it. These are aims, not guarantees.
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.
What was checked
Plain notes from the hygiene checks.
Permissions
Pass
No shell or command execution found, and no extra permission was declared.
Install and update
Serious
install fetches a script from the network. The docs document an installer that pipes a download into a shell.
