Nothing significant. Questions worth asking about Product & Engineering Maturity, Security & Reliability Posture.

105 checks ran across 6 assessable dimensions. None found a significant problem; 4 raised something worth a question. 8 findings, each with evidence. One dimension cannot be assessed without an acquirer.

What the repository says about itself
What this survey read. This commit may not be the product users run: The newest release, v3.7.2, is not on the branch this survey read; the newest release on it is v2.3.0. Read this report as describing that commit, not the release users run. Survey the release branch or tag as well.
An earlier reading. This is the survey of 2026-09-30 by borehole 0.7.8, which is what its verification code attests to. A newer reading of the same commit exists: read the newest.
Published under today's rules. The verification code attests to this reading as it was stored. This page differs from it as follows.

  • low trailer coverage: the convention may not be in consistent use
  • 23% of commits show author/committer date divergence, which is the shape of replayed history that can drop trailers
  • commit 4132c3559 says the project removes AI co-author trailers, so the declared share is a floor of unknown distance

This is a lower bound. It counts what the repository declares. Undeclared AI authorship is invisible here, and a single rebase removes the trailers this rests on. Absence of a declaration is absence of disclosure, not absence of AI authorship.

api/etcdserverpb/gw/rpc.pb.gw.go is 3,260 lines, 30× this codebase's median file

adequate

The median source file here is 107 lines. 9 files exceed 1,070 lines, the largest being 3,260. 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.

Your response is published beside the finding, not instead of it. A finding you can argue with is the point — and a wrong one is calibration data we want.

An owner's response is removed only when it is unlawful, impersonates someone, publishes personal data or a credential, or is not about the finding. Disagreeing with the report is never a reason. To report a response, or to reach us about one, write to takedown@borehole.dev.

Effort is shifting from building to rewriting

adequate

Deleted lines per line added rose from 0.42 to 0.97 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.

Evidence

13 files still carry code deprecated more than two years ago

adequate

13 files were marked deprecated over two years ago and still are, the oldest since Mar 2021. A deprecation is a promise to remove. Ask what still depends on these, and whether removing them is scheduled.

Evidence
client/v3/logger.go client/v3/logger.go — deprecated since Mar 2021

Releases are cut from another branch than the one surveyed

05.6

1 Dockerfile runs the application as root

adequate

No USER instruction switches away from root, so the process runs with full privileges inside the container. It is a one-line fix and an ordinary expectation, which is why its absence is worth asking about: it usually says more about whether anyone has reviewed the deployment than about this container specifically.

Evidence
no-USER-instruction Dockerfile — runs as root

05.13

2 outbound calls can wait forever

adequate

2 HTTP calls use a client with no timeout (Python `requests` without `timeout=`, or Go's default client). When a dependency slows down, each one holds a worker until the connection gives up, and enough of them take the service down with the dependency.

Evidence
contrib/lock/client/client.go contrib/lock/client/client.go:63 — outbound call without a timeout

6 advisories against this project in the last 24 months

adequate

The newest was published on 2026-07-23. 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 4 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 2.3.0. Answer lives in: the release you run, set against each fixed version. GHSA-6vch-q96h-7gc3 (moderate), GHSA-3wh4-j44w-pg92 (moderate) affect 2.3.0, the newest release in this history, and not the surveyed commit: their fixes are in the surveyed commit, and whether a release cut elsewhere carries them could not be told. Answer lives in: the version you run.

Evidence
GHSA-6vch-q96h-7gc3 2026-07-23: GHSA-6vch-q96h-7gc3 (moderate), fixed in 3.5.33: `tlsListener.acceptLoop` spawns unbounded handshake goroutines with no deadline
GHSA-xg4h-6gfc-h4m8 2026-07-23: GHSA-xg4h-6gfc-h4m8 (moderate), fixed in 3.5.33: Watch API authorization bypass via open-ended range requests
GHSA-3wh4-j44w-pg92 2026-07-01: GHSA-3wh4-j44w-pg92 (moderate), fixed in 3.5.32: etcd: CRL enforcement bypass on gRPC listener when `--listen-client-http-urls` is configured
GHSA-x35m-3gp4-4fh5 2026-05-01: GHSA-x35m-3gp4-4fh5 (low), fixed in 3.4.44: RBAC authorization bypass in etcd allows unauthorized data access via PrevKv or lease attachment in Put requests nested in transactions
GHSA-rfx7-8w68-q57q 2026-03-20: GHSA-rfx7-8w68-q57q (low), fixed in 3.4.42: Nested etcd transactions bypass RBAC authorization checks

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
error reporting no error reporter initialised

Not rated: structurally not assessable from a repository. What a person adds here.

Check it on the running system

4 checks against the running system follow from the findings above: what a buyer's engineer will try, how to run it first, and what to have ready. A paid survey of this repository includes them. See the tiers.

A paid survey of a public repository is also reviewed: a language model reads each finding against the code and withdraws only findings it judges the code contradicts, each listed with its reason. The review is a language model's reading of the findings against the code, and it can be wrong. It never adds a finding, never raises a band, and never removes a finding from a proven check or an advisory that affects the surveyed version.

What a person adds

The survey reads what the repository can show. The code cannot settle these questions, and on them this report states nothing. Each says where its answer lives: your own engineer, the company, or an assessor you choose can settle it. Questions marked measured open with something this repository shows.

  1. This is primarily a Go codebase. Does your engineering organisation already run Go in production, or would this be the first? 07.1
  2. The bulk of this system sits in server/, client/, api/. Which of your existing systems would each of those have to absorb or replace? 07.10
  3. The repository carries deployment configuration (Dockerfile and 1 more). Does that match your deployment and on-call model, or does it need rehosting first? 07.2
  4. What is your tolerance for the findings above remaining unaddressed for the first two quarters after close, given everything else that will compete for this team's time?
  5. Which of these systems duplicate yours, and which get retired? Answer lives in: Your architecture07.11

  8. Are there earn-outs, retention packages or contractor IP to assign? Answer lives in: Deal terms07.14
  9. Do customer contracts limit hosting, regions or vendors? Answer lives in: Customer contracts07.15

A human assessment is Borehole's own paid service, €12,000+ (total price is determined per engagement; travel billed at cost). It is not independent of this report: the same business produced both. It is a separate contract, with its own scope, terms and reliance.

Borehole reading MR9H-KST7-J2QM, not a certification

This commit has been surveyed 8 times

A survey is a reading by a particular version of the assessor. Older readings are kept rather than replaced, because a verification mark attests to the survey it was issued for — overwriting one would make every code already in circulation read as tampered.

Where this scan ran

This scan ran on ordinary cloud infrastructure (cloud-run), not in a hardware-isolated confidential VM. Nothing about it is attested by Google.

What an attested survey proves, and what it does not.

What this scan did with the repository — 7 steps

Written by the steps themselves as they ran, not described afterwards. A hand-written account of a data flow drifts the first time somebody changes the flow and not the account.

An automated reading of a repository's code and its history up to one commit, with public advisory records. It may be wrong, it is not legal, financial, investment or security advice, and it does not replace diligence by a qualified person. It is provided for information: nobody may rely on it (Borehole's terms, section 3).
