Open Index
Open Index is a tool for building domain specific accurate, structured data that agents can actually operate on — and for keeping that data correct as things change.
Compatibility: Not stated.
Grade B
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.
NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV SECRETS_ENV_READ
Why this grade
- NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low
Makes a network call whose host is not written as a fixed address.
docker/entrypoint.sh, line 69
urllib.request.urlopen('$FIRST_HOST', timeout=3) - SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low
Mentions a .env file.
.env.example, line 1
# Copy to .env before running docker compose. - SECRETS_ENV_READ Note
Reads an environment variable whose name contains KEY, SECRET, TOKEN, PASSWORD or CREDENTIAL.
open_index/embeddings.py, line 282
api_key = os.environ.get("OPEN_INDEX_EMBEDDING_API_KEY")
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.
