Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

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.

    src/arr/client.ts, line 132 const { data } = await this.http.get("/series", {

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    src/trakt/mcp-functions.ts, line 133 'Add the above TRAKT_ACCESS_TOKEN and TRAKT_REFRESH_TOKEN to your MCP client env config or .env file',

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    src/plex-mcp-server.ts, line 48 const plexToken = process.env.PLEX_TOKEN;

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.
