Grade B

Minor issues only, no Medium or High. Worth a quick look at the findings below before installing.

Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

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 INSTALL_DOCUMENTED_INSTALLER SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    bin/werkel.mjs, line 378 if (fs.existsSync(f)) fs.unlinkSync(f);

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    dashboard/integration.mjs, line 30 try { if ((await fetch(BASE + "/healthz")).ok) break; } catch {}

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    dashboard/.env.example, line 1 # Copy to .env next to docker-compose.yml and fill in.

  • INSTALL_DOCUMENTED_INSTALLER Note

    Documentation shows an installer that pipes a download into a shell.

    README.md, line 20 curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RedFeatherXO/werkel/main/scripts/bootstrap.sh | bash

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    bin/werkel.mjs, line 320 token: a.flags.token ?? process.env.WERKEL_INGEST_TOKEN,

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.

  • Install and update

    Note

    README documents an installer that pipes a download into a shell. The docs document an installer that pipes a download into a shell.

    scripts/bootstrap.sh, line 3

    # curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RedFeatherXO/werkel/main/scripts/bootstrap.sh | bash

  • Network

    Concern

    can reach a host that is not written as a fixed address.

    NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST

    dashboard/integration.mjs, line 30

    try { if ((await fetch(BASE + "/healthz")).ok) break; } catch {}

  • Secrets

    Concern

    reads a credential or environment file.

    token: a.flags.token ?? process.env.WERKEL_INGEST_TOKEN,
