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

Rescanned at commit bff4ff9aba68.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    docs/FRD.md, line 365 **Source adapters** implement a common interface (`fetch(company) -> list[RawItem]`) so adding a source = one file. v1 adapters: `podcast_rss`, `news`, `edgar`, `company_site`.

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    .claude/skills/run-openpitch/SKILL.md, line 18 Secrets go in a gitignored `.env` (never commit it):

  • OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB Low

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

    config/discovered.yaml, line 1 companies:

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

    Pass

    No shell or command execution found, and no extra permission was declared.

  • Install and update

    Pass

    No install-time script found, and dependencies are pinned or absent.

  • Network

    Concern

    can reach a host that is not written as a fixed address.

    NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST

    docs/FRD.md, line 365

    **Source adapters** implement a common interface (`fetch(company) -> list[RawItem]`) so adding a source = one file. v1 adapters: `podcast_rss`, `news`, `edgar`, `company_site`.

  • Secrets

    Concern

    reads a credential or environment file.

    SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV

    .claude/skills/run-openpitch/SKILL.md, line 18

    Secrets go in a gitignored `.env` (never commit it):

    .claude/skills/run-openpitch/SKILL.md, line 64

    - Never commit `.env` or real secrets (DATA-POLICY).

    .gitignore, line 10

    .env

    Show more

    AGENTS.md, line 147

    - The EDGAR adapter now reads `OPENPITCH_SEC_USER_AGENT` from `.env`.

    AGENTS.md, line 158

    - Add a real contact-bearing user agent to local `.env`, for example:

    AGENTS.md, line 164

    Do not commit `.env`; it is gitignored and should remain local.

    AGENTS.md, line 218

    - Added operational guidance for local `.env`, GitHub secrets, pre-push safety, and generated-data separation.

  • Agent instructions

    Pass

    No instruction to ignore earlier instructions or to hide a step.

  • Obfuscation

    Concern

    contains an encoded blob in a file that should be readable.
