enterprisedb/barman: technical due diligence, read from its repository
What Borehole read in enterprisedb/barman's code and history at 7b8b3a5: its licence, security advisories, releases, review practice, tests, dependencies and operations. Every finding cites the file and line it rests on. The full report also covers the team and asks the questions the code cannot answer.

Product & Engineering Maturity
strongReleases are cut from another branch than the one surveyed
adequateThe newest release, release/3.20.1, is not on the branch this survey read; the newest release on it is release/3.20.0. The shipped product may differ from what this report describes. Survey the release branch too.

Security & Reliability Posture
strong5 locked dependencies have published vulnerabilities, 14 high or critical
adequate5 of 81 locked dependencies match 24 published advisories in OSV, 14 of them rated high or critical. A lockfile says which version is installed, not whether the flawed code is reachable from this product, so each needs a look. Most are fixed by an upgrade, and the advisory names the version. None of the high or critical ones is in what the product ships: they are optional extras of a package, installed only on request.
1 advisory against this project in the last 24 months, 1 high or critical
adequateThe newest was published on 2026-09-29. A project that publishes advisories is telling its users about its fixes, and the count and pace say how much security work it carries. Whether 1 of them are fixed in the code you ship could not be told from this history: its version is only known to be at least 3.20.0. Answer lives in: the release you run, set against each fixed version. The record is incomplete: NVD: 1 record names barman with nothing tying it to this repository (CVE-2006-6611).
| 2026-09-29: CVE-2026-93853 (high): Unverified ownership in Barman snapshot backup deletion allows a principal who can write the backup catalog to cause Barman to delete unrelated cloud snapshots. |
