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

NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

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

    pkg/workflowy/workflowy.go, line 345 // depth parameter controls how many levels deep to fetch (0 = no children, 1 = direct children only, etc.)

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

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

    pkg/transform/transform.go, line 189 out, err := exec.Command("sh", "-c", cmd).Output()

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    pkg/workflowy/workflowy.go, line 196 if envKey := os.Getenv("WORKFLOWY_API_KEY"); envKey != "" {

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.
