Grade B

Minor issues only, no Medium or High. Worth a quick look at the findings below before installing.

Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

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

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV SECRETS_ENV_READ OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP OBFUSCATION_FILE_CAP_REACHED

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    packages/octocode/src/cli/commands/skills/installer.ts, line 99 fs.rmSync(p, { recursive: true, force: true });

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    packages/octocode/scripts/validation-report-helpers.ts, line 87 const response = await fetch(url, {

  • NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low

    Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.

    packages/octocode/scripts/validation-report-helpers.ts, line 87 const response = await fetch(url, {

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    packages/octocode/scripts/prepack.mjs, line 36 return name.startsWith('.') && name !== '.env.example';

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    packages/octocode/scripts/validation-report-helpers.ts, line 69 } else if (process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN) {

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note

    A file was over the read cap and was not fully read.

    yarn.lock, line 1 # This file is generated by running "yarn install" inside your project.

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_CAP_REACHED Note

    The 400 file cap was reached before every file was read.

    yarn.lock, line 1 # This file is generated by running "yarn install" inside your project.

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.
