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

Rescanned at commit fd8a75f9d977.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

    Makes a network call whose host is not written as a fixed address.

    .github/scripts/generate-release-notes.py, line 238 with urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=30) as resp:

  • OBFUSCATION_ENCODED_BLOB Low

    Contains a long base64 shaped string in a file that should be readable.

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

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

    .github/scripts/generate-release-notes.py, line 155 result = subprocess.run(cmd, capture_output=True, text=True)

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.

    PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED

    .github/scripts/generate-release-notes.py, line 155

    result = subprocess.run(cmd, capture_output=True, text=True)

  • Install and update

    Pass

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

  • Network

    Concern

    can reach a host that is not written as a fixed address.
