Why this grade
- PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

speaker_tool.py, line 441
with requests.get(job["audio_url"], stream=True, timeout=300) as response: - SECRETS_PATH_UNCONFIRMED Low
The Secrets check reports a credential or environment file, but no quoted line shows a recognisable path.
.gitignore, line 18
# Secrets / credentials - never commit - OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note
A file was over the read cap and was not fully read.

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.
