Grades are a hygiene check, not a security guarantee.

MCP, MCP server

One Medium finding. Read the report before installing.

Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

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

INSTALL_REMOTE_SCRIPT

Why this grade

  • INSTALL_REMOTE_SCRIPT Medium

    Fetches a script from the network and runs it (a pipe to a shell, or an install hook with a URL).

    .beads/README.md, line 64 curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/steveyegge/beads/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

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.

What was checked

Plain notes from the hygiene checks.

  • Permissions

    Note

    requests shell access. The manifest names this permission.

  • Install and update

    Serious

    install fetches a script from the network.

    INSTALL_REMOTE_SCRIPT

    .beads/README.md, line 64

    curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/steveyegge/beads/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

  • Network

    Concern

    can reach a host that is not written as a fixed address. can reach api.example.com. The description does not name that host.

    NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST

    internal/analyzer/java/analyzer_test.go, line 124

    public String fetch() {

    internal/analyzer/python/analyzer_test.go, line 170

    // extractHTTPCalls detects outbound HTTP calls (requests.get, httpx.post, etc.)

  • Secrets

    Concern

    reads a credential or environment file.

    SECRETS_ENV_READ SECRETS_PATH_UNCONFIRMED

    internal/scanner/mask_test.go, line 60

    line: `token := os.Getenv("RIDGE_TOKEN")`,
