Issued 2026-11-03

Reads strong: 3 of 5 rated dimensions are strong, 2 are adequate and none is significant.

105 checks ran across 6 assessable dimensions. Engineering Process & SDLC Maturity and Product & Engineering Maturity are adequate. 11 findings, each with evidence. One dimension cannot be assessed without an acquirer. Last commit 3 November 2026.

This repository reads strong. Show it in your README: the badge links to a page where anyone can check the reading. If you embed it: link it to the report, remove it if the report is delisted, and do not present it as a certification or an endorsement.

What the repository says about itself
Degraded run. History truncated at 50,000 commits, the most a hosted survey reads. Signals needing the full history are reported as inconclusive rather than clean.
What this survey read. This commit may not be the product users run: The newest release, 13.1, is not on the branch this survey read; the newest release on it is 6.2.0. Read this report as describing that commit, not the release users run. Survey the release branch or tag as well.
Published under today's rules. The verification code attests to this reading as it was stored. This page differs from it as follows.
  • Words about people are today's: bands rather than exact shares, dates or day counts, and what the history measured rather than why.
  • 1 finding from checks Borehole's calibration found wrong more often than right is no longer published.
  • The file and line of 1 credential-shaped match is withheld. File and line are shown to whoever GitHub says controls this repository, signed in, and to a buyer of this report.

libraries/src/Installer/Installer.php is 2,553 lines, 32× this codebase's median file

adequate

The median source file here is 78 lines. 42 files exceed 1,000 lines, the largest being 2,553. 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.

A note that does not affect this rating: measured against its own codebase's median, it is below the 85th percentile of 382 surveyed projects' largest files, where this check begins to count.

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.

01.7

4% of code blocks appear verbatim in more than one file

adequate

7,717 distinct 8-line blocks appear in two or more files. Copy-paste is the cheapest thing a generator does and among the more expensive things to inherit: a fix has to be applied everywhere the block landed, and nothing in the repository records where that is. Tests, fixtures and documentation examples are excluded — those repeat by design — so this is duplication in code that ships. Blocks are matched after normalising whitespace and only across different files.

A note that does not affect this rating: in Borehole's calibration, this check's notes were usually true but overstated.

Tests cover a thin slice of the codebase

adequate

284 test files against 3,781 source files (7.5%). 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.

1 credential-shaped string added in the history sit in tests, examples, documentation or local development settings

adequate

Strings shaped like credentials appear only where fakes are usual: test fixtures, examples, documentation, placeholders and local stacks. They are almost always fakes. Ask someone to confirm that none of them works anywhere, because a real key in a development file is still a real key.

22 places read data with a deserialiser that executes what it reads (PHP `unserialize`). That is safe on data the system wrote itself and remote code execution on anything else. Ask where each one's input comes from.

48 places insert HTML from a variable without sanitising it

adequate

48 places set HTML from a value that is neither a literal nor passed through a sanitiser. Where the value can come from a user, that is stored cross-site scripting, and it is the first thing a buyer's security review looks for in a frontend.

22 vendored components with no licence

adequate

Third-party code is committed into this repository without any statement of the terms it arrived under. Unknown terms are harder to deal with than inconvenient ones: an awkward licence can be complied with, an absent one cannot. Each of these needs its origin established before the code changes hands.

1 advisory against this project in the last 24 months, 1 high or critical

adequate

The newest was published on 2025-04-08. 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 6.2.0. Answer lives in: the release you run, set against each fixed version.

A note that does not affect this rating: it describes the project's advisory record, and no advisory in it is known to affect the surveyed commit.

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

Check it on the running system

3 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.

Tied to this commit and this date, and it fades after 90 days — an honest badge is one that expires. A repository with significant findings gets a neutral "read" badge rather than a red one: the library is where the range is visible, not someone else's README.

BOREHOLE READING NOT A CERTIFICATION M65S-9PKM-EX1H 2026-11-03 · ED920E9 BOREHOLE.DEV/VERIFY

Anyone can check this report against the authoritative record — click the stamp, or enter M65S-9PKM-EX1H at borehole.dev/verify.

The code commits to the 106 checks this run performed, the bands they produced, and the commit they were read at. It does not cover checks written since.

Put the mark in your README

The image is wrapped in a link to the verification page, so a reader can check it rather than take it on trust. If you embed it: link it to the report, remove it if the report is delisted, and do not present it as a certification or an endorsement.

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).
