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

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    approval_auth_test.py, line 52 subprocess.run(["rm", "-rf", "/tmp/trmm-authtest-state"], check=False)

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    approval_auth_test.py, line 62 httpx.get(f"{BASE}/approve/", timeout=1, verify=VERIFY)

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    backup-mcp.sh, line 6 # credentials in .env, the TLS keypair, live approval/session state, and the

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    trmm_mcp/cli_setup_auth.py, line 29 preset = os.environ.get("TRMM_APPROVAL_SETUP_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.
