  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

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

    Pass

    No shell or command call was found in the code. This check does not read permissions an entry declares. A permission line to write or edit files was found in this repository, and it may apply to this entry.

  • 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.
