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

Rescanned at commit f90af50f8083, unchanged since the check below.

PERMISSION_SHELL_UNDECLARED

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_UNDECLARED Medium

    Runs shell commands that the manifest or description does not mention.

    e2e/tls_test.go, line 69 cmd := exec.CommandContext(t.Context(), bin, "run", "--config", configPath)

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

    Concern

    requests shell access. No manifest field names shell or command execution.

    PERMISSION_SHELL_UNDECLARED

    e2e/tls_test.go, line 69

    cmd := exec.CommandContext(t.Context(), bin, "run", "--config", configPath)

  • Install and update

    Pass

    No install-time script found, and dependencies are pinned or absent.

  • Network

    Concern

  • Secrets

    Concern

    reads a credential or environment file.

    SECRETS_ENV_READ SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV
