infrahq/infra: technical due diligence, read from its repository

What Borehole read in infrahq/infra's code and history at bb99bfb: 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.

Architecture & Codebase — including AI provenance

adequate
01.6

internal/server/data/migrations.go is 1,378 lines, 13× this codebase's median file

adequate

The median source file here is 105 lines. 1 file exceed 1,050 lines, the largest being 1,378. Size is not a defect on its own — some problems genuinely live in one place — but these are where merge conflicts, review fatigue and single-owner knowledge concentrate, and they are the first thing that slows an inheriting engineer down.

Evidence
internal/server/data/migrations.go:1 — 1,378 lines (13× median)
01.25

1 base image floats: no version, or `latest`

adequate

1 of 4 `FROM` lines in product Dockerfiles name an image without a version, or with `latest`. Each build pulls whatever the registry serves that day, so the image that ships can change without a commit, and last month's build cannot be reproduced. Pin a version, or a digest.

Evidence
Dockerfile:32 — base image without a version

Engineering Process & SDLC Maturity

strong

No finding.

Product & Engineering Maturity

strong
04.17

Node.js 18 is past end of life

adequate

The code is pinned to Node.js 18 (end of life 2025-04-30). None of these receives security fixes any more; the first stopped on 2025-04-30. Moving off an unsupported runtime is rarely a one-line change, so a buyer should ask whether the upgrade is planned and what it touches.

Evidence
ui/Dockerfile — Node.js 18, end of life 2025-04-30

Security & Reliability Posture

adequate
05.27

The build runs third-party code it does not pin

adequate

7 third-party CI actions are referenced by a tag or branch rather than a commit, so they run whatever that tag points to on the day. Tags have been moved to malicious commits in real supply-chain attacks, and a piped script is whatever the server returns that minute. Pinning to a commit is the fix, and it is small.

Evidence
.github/workflows/cd-binaries.yaml:42 — action pinned by tag
.github/workflows/cd-containers.yaml:60 — action pinned by tag
05.26

19 locked dependencies have published vulnerabilities, 40 high or critical in what ships

adequate

19 of 195 locked dependencies match 98 published advisories in OSV, 47 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. This lockfile pins development tools alongside what ships and does not say which is which, so some of these may never reach a user.

Evidence
go.mod — golang.org/x/crypto v0.10.0: GHSA-5cgq-3rg8-m6cv (critical), fixed in 0.52.0
ui/package-lock.json — next 13.4.7: GHSA-2464-fhr4-w9xw (critical), fixed in 15.5.28
go.mod — google.golang.org/grpc v1.55.0: GHSA-p77j-4mvh-x3m3 (critical), fixed in 1.79.3
05.66

The licence is Elastic-2.0: source available, not open source

adequate

LICENSE grants Elastic-2.0: source available, not open source; offering it as a managed service is not allowed. The reading comes from the licence's own title and clauses. Whether the terms fit the buyer's intended use, and whether any paid licence transfers with the code, is a question for counsel and the licensor.

Evidence
LICENSE:1 — 76 lines, Elastic-2.0
05.60

Relicensed: Apache-2.0 → Elastic-2.0 (2022-04-08)

adequate

The root licence changed 1 time(s). The latest terms restrict what users, hosts or a buyer may do in ways the earlier ones did not. Code taken under the old terms stays under them, so both matter in diligence.

Evidence
LICENSE — Apache-2.0 from 2021-05-20
LICENSE — Elastic-2.0 from 2022-04-08

Observability & Operations

strong
06.9

No error reporter is wired in

adequate

Nothing in the service initialises an error reporter (Sentry, Rollbar, Bugsnag, Honeybadger or an APM agent). An exception in production reaches a person only if someone is reading the logs, which usually means a customer reports it first.

Evidence
no error reporter initialised
