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

Rescanned at commit 84d19ba7171b, unchanged since the check below.

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_UNCONFIRMED PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED SECRETS_ENV_READ OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    web/worker/index.ts, line 28 async fetch(request: Request, env: Env, ctx: ExecutionContext): Promise<Response> {

  • SECRETS_PATH_UNCONFIRMED Low

    The Secrets check reports a credential or environment file, but no quoted line shows a recognisable path.

    scripts/hosted_smoke.py, line 133 credential = os.environ.get("UPTOCODE_JUDGE_KEY", "")

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

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

    fixtures/bad_python/agent.py, line 12 subprocess.run(user_id)

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    scripts/hosted_smoke.py, line 133 credential = os.environ.get("UPTOCODE_JUDGE_KEY", "")

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note

    A file was over the read cap and was not fully read.

    editor/vscode-uptocode/package-lock.json, line 1 {

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.
