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

Rescanned at commit 29738912c65a, unchanged since the check below.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    llm/analyzer.py, line 178 with urllib.request.urlopen(request, timeout=120) as response:

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    config.py, line 7 DEFAULT_ENV_FILE = ROOT / ".env"

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

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

    mcp_server.py, line 267 result = subprocess.run(

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

    Reads an environment variable whose name contains KEY, SECRET, TOKEN, PASSWORD or CREDENTIAL.

    config.py, line 155 password=os.getenv("POSTGRES_PASSWORD", ""),

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.
