What this survey read. This commit may not be the product users run: The newest release, v2.4.7, is not on the branch this survey read; the newest release on it is v2.1.0. 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.
  • 1 finding from checks Borehole's calibration found wrong more often than right is no longer published.
  • The file and line of 5 credential-shaped matches are withheld. File and line are shown to whoever GitHub says controls this repository, signed in, and to a buyer of this report.

pkg/krtcollections/policy.go is 1,935 lines, 14× this codebase's median file

adequate

The median source file here is 137 lines. 2 files exceed 1,370 lines, the largest being 1,935. 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.

adequate

121 of 1827 commits in the last 24 months changed over 2,000 lines of code, not counting reformatting, renames, vendored or generated code. A change that size is rarely reviewed line by line. Ask how they were reviewed, and what made them that large.

05.1

23 credential-shaped strings in the tree 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.

Evidence
private key block 5 cited: private key block, where fakes are usual

2 Dockerfiles run 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

The build runs third-party code it does not pin

adequate

2 steps pipe a download straight into a shell. 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.

A note that does not affect this rating: notes like it are common in well-run projects.

2 of 2 Kubernetes workloads declare no resource limits

adequate

2 workload manifests set no CPU or memory limits. One pod that leaks memory or spins can starve everything else on its node, and the scheduler cannot plan capacity for what it cannot see.

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

05.26

1 locked dependency has published vulnerabilities, 4 high or critical

adequate

1 of 506 locked dependencies match 5 published advisories in OSV, 4 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: the project marks 4 as not affecting it, with its reason beside the reference; some are pinned to a commit or a branch.

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

Evidence
go.mod go.mod — istio.io/istio v0.0.0-20260605182440-f18fd540c0e8: GHSA-7774-7vr3-cc8j (high); pinned to a commit or a branch, so whether it has the fix needs the dependency's own source

05.65

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

adequate

The newest was published on 2026-09-01. 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 3 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 2.1.0. 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.

Evidence
GHSA-qxh6-6qr5-cmv3 2026-09-01: GHSA-qxh6-6qr5-cmv3 (moderate), fixed in v2.3.8: SDS gRPC server binds 0.0.0.0:8234 with no authentication and serves the gateway's Istio mTLS private key; any pod on the cluster network can exfiltrate it (ide

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.

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

Check it on the running system

7 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.

Not rated: structurally not assessable from a repository.

  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 internal/, pkg/, install/. Which of your existing systems would each of those have to absorb or replace? 07.10
  3. The repository carries deployment configuration (.oss-scanner/Dockerfile and 38 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
  6. What will integration cost, and in what order? Answer lives in: The engagement07.12
  7. Where does the team land in your organisation, and who reports to whom? Answer lives in: Your org design07.13
  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.

Embed the badge

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.

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).
