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

Rescanned at commit 799f58a28dc3, unchanged since the check below.

SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    .dockerignore, line 3 .env

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    scripts/upstream-smoke.mjs, line 8 if (!process.env.PATSNAP_TEST_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.
