OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB

Why this grade

  • OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB Medium

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

    src/app/assets/buy-me-a-coffee.ts, line 4 'data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAABEIAAAEyCAYAAAD+2HUfAAAACXBIWXMAABYlAAAWJQFJUiTwAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAARnQU1BAACxjwv8YQUAAF70SURBVHgB7d1NkB3lne/5p8SLeJOqZAO2JVMSfa8bL

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.
