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

Rescanned at commit 15116eb9efab, unchanged since the check below.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_UNCONFIRMED

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    index.js, line 28 throw new PatternfetchError('global fetch is unavailable; pass opts.fetch (Node 18+ has it built in)');

  • SECRETS_PATH_UNCONFIRMED Low

    The Secrets check reports a credential or environment file, but no quoted line shows a recognisable path.

    index.js, line 23 this.apiKey = opts.apiKey ?? process?.env?.PATTERNFETCH_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.
