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

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    scripts/demo-kayit.js, line 46 fs.unlinkSync(yatay);

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    nvidia_image.py, line 89 snapshot ignores key rotation entirely, and a `.env` written after the

  • OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB Low

    Contains a long base64 shaped string in a file that should be readable.

    uv.lock, line 1 version = 1

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.
