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

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

Rescanned at commit ad1500e566e7, unchanged since the check below.

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES INSTALL_UNPINNED NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    setup.py, line 350 ret = subprocess.run(

  • INSTALL_UNPINNED Low

    Dependencies use a range or git URL with no lockfile.

    requirements.txt, line 1 requests[socks]>=2.28.0

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    fetch.py, line 68 result = sicry.fetch(url)

  • NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low

    Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.

    fetch.py, line 68 result = sicry.fetch(url)

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    SKILL.md, line 42 cp {baseDir}/.env.example {baseDir}/.env

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    setup.py, line 420 env_password = os.environ.get("TOR_CONTROL_PASSWORD", "")

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.

What was checked

Plain notes from the hygiene checks.

  • Permissions

    Concern

    can delete files.

    PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES

    setup.py, line 350

    ret = subprocess.run(

    setup.py, line 390

    subprocess.run(["sudo", "systemctl", "daemon-reload"],

  • Install and update

    Concern

    dependencies are not pinned.

    INSTALL_UNPINNED

    requirements.txt, line 1

    requests[socks]>=2.28.0

  • Network

    Concern

    can reach a host that is not written as a fixed address. can reach somemarket.onion. The description does not name that host.
