kludex/starlette: technical due diligence, read from its repository

Deleted lines per line added rose from 0.51 to 0.84 between the first and second halves of this history. Rework is normal and often healthy, but a rising ratio means an increasing share of the team's time is spent replacing code that already exists rather than building what does not. Whether that is deliberate repayment or churn is a question for the team.

3 of 88 locked dependencies match 5 published advisories in OSV, 3 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 development dependencies.

1 of them is on CISA's known-exploited list: check first whether the release you run has the fix. The newest was published on 2026-06-12. A project that publishes advisories is telling its users about its fixes, and the count and pace say how much security work it carries. None of them affects the surveyed version. The record is incomplete: NVD: 12 records name starlette with nothing tying them to this repository (CVE-2023-29159, CVE-2023-30798, CVE-2024-47874, …).
