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

INSTALL_LIFECYCLE_HOOK NETWORK_HOST_FROM_INPUT

Why this grade

  • INSTALL_LIFECYCLE_HOOK Medium

    A package install hook (preinstall, install, postinstall or prepare) runs a script.

    package.json, line 15 prepare

  • NETWORK_HOST_FROM_INPUT Medium

    A file takes a URL or endpoint as input and has no fixed host list.

    test-search.js, line 20 const response = await axios.get('https://html.duckduckgo.com/html/', {

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.
