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

NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED INSTALL_DOCUMENTED_INSTALLER OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low

    Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.

    bootstrap.sh, line 9 exec sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/resq-software/dev/main/install.sh)"

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    packages/resq-mcp/src/resq_mcp/__main__.py, line 30 Settings loaded from environment variables (RESQ_*) or .env file.

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

    Runs shell commands, and the manifest or description says so.

    .github/workflows/api-docs.yml, line 217 result = subprocess.run(

  • INSTALL_DOCUMENTED_INSTALLER Note

    Documentation shows an installer that pipes a download into a shell.

    AGENTS.md, line 62 curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/resq-software/dev/main/scripts/install-hooks.sh | sh

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note

    A file was over the read cap and was not fully read.

    packages/resq-agent/uv.lock, line 1 version = 1

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.
