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

Rescanned at commit d72ab864734c, unchanged since the check below.

INSTALL_UNPINNED NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_UNCONFIRMED SECRETS_ENV_READ

Why this grade

  • INSTALL_UNPINNED Low

    Dependencies use a range or git URL with no lockfile.

    package.json, line 2 trendsapi

  • NETWORK_UNNAMED_HOST Low

    Calls a fixed host that the description does not name.

    examples/quickstart.sh, line 3 curl -sS --max-time 60 -X POST https://api.trendsapi.ai/api \

  • SECRETS_PATH_UNCONFIRMED Low

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

    examples/quickstart.mjs, line 3 const client = new TrendsAPI({ apiKey: process.env.TRENDSAPI_KEY });

  • SECRETS_ENV_READ Note

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

    examples/quickstart.mjs, line 3 const client = new TrendsAPI({ apiKey: process.env.TRENDSAPI_KEY });

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.
