NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV 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.

    benchmarks/moat/run.py, line 179 with urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=timeout) as response:

  • NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low

    Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.

    benchmarks/moat/run.py, line 179 with urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=timeout) as response:

  • SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low

    Mentions a .env file.

    benchmarks/moat/run.py, line 97 # Empty rather than unset: the CLI loads .env, which would refill a missing key.

  • PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note

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

    benchmarks/moat/run.py, line 114 proc = subprocess.run(

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    benchmarks/moat/run.py, line 222 key = os.getenv("FIRECRAWL_API_KEY")

  • OBFUSCATION_FILE_OVER_READ_CAP Note

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

    x_reader/fetchers/jina.py, line 1 # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

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.
