openhealthforall/open-health: technical due diligence, read from its repository
What Borehole read in openhealthforall/open-health's code and history at 095fdc7: 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
strongsrc/lib/health-data/parser/schema.ts is 2,515 lines, 61× this codebase's median file
adequateThe median source file here is 41 lines. 2 files exceed 1,000 lines, the largest being 2,515. 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.
src/lib/health-data/parser/schema.ts:1 — 2,515 lines (61× median) |
src/components/source/source-add-screen.tsx:1 — 1,424 lines (34× median) |
Engineering Process & SDLC Maturity
adequateTests are absent or token
adequate0 test files against 102 source files (0.0%). This does not measure whether the tests are good, only whether enough of them exist for the codebase to be changed safely by someone who did not write it — which is exactly the situation after an acquisition.
| 0 test files / 102 source files |
Product & Engineering Maturity
strongNo finding.
Security & Reliability Posture
adequateNone of the standard security guard rails are configured
adequateThere is no disclosure policy, no automated dependency updates, no named code owners and no pre-commit configuration. None of these is load-bearing on its own. Their collective absence says that security posture here is whatever the current team happens to remember to do, which is not a posture that survives the team changing.
| checked 5 kinds of guard rail across 157 tracked files; 0 present |
1 advisory against this project in the last 24 months, 1 high or critical
adequateThe newest was published on 2026-10-15. 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 0.2.0. Answer lives in: the release you run, set against each fixed version.
| 2026-10-15: CVE-2026-111312 (critical): OpenHealth through 0.2.0 contains a missing authentication and authorization vulnerability in the /api/health-data/[id] GET, PATCH and DELETE handlers that quer |
Observability & Operations
adequateNo structured logging library is in use
adequateNothing references a structured logging library. Logs that are written to be read by a person are not searchable by a machine, which means incident response here is proportional to how well someone remembers the codebase rather than to what the tooling can find.
| searched 137 files for 10 structured logging libraries; 0 matched |
One request cannot be followed through the logs
adequateNothing in the service carries a request or correlation id, and there is no tracing. When a customer reports a failure, the log lines that belong to their request cannot be picked out from everyone else's.
| no request id, correlation id or tracing found |
No error reporter is wired in
adequateNothing 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.
| no error reporter initialised |
