Nothing significant. Questions worth asking about Security & Reliability Posture, Observability & Operations.

104 checks ran across 6 assessable dimensions. None found a significant problem; 5 raised something worth a question. 19 findings, each with evidence. One dimension cannot be assessed without an acquirer. Last commit 26 October 2026.

Published under today's rules. The verification code attests to this reading as it was stored. This page differs from it as follows.
  • 2 findings from checks Borehole's calibration found wrong more often than right are no longer published.
  • The file and line of 3 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.

frontend/src/static/lib/file-uploader/5.13.0/fine-uploader.js is 7,414 lines, 121× this codebase's median file

adequate

The median source file here is 61 lines. 15 files exceed 1,000 lines, the largest being 7,414. 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.

6% of code blocks appear verbatim in more than one file

adequate

4,365 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.

122 errors caught and discarded in product code

adequate

122 places catch an error and do nothing with it, across 25 files (0.7 per thousand lines). Each is a failure the system will not report. They surface later as problems nobody can explain, and they are cheap to fix now.

Bus factor 1: recent work is concentrated in one contributor

adequate

In the last 24 months, one contributor authored three-quarters or more of 146 non-merge commits among 21 authors; across all history, more than half of 350. In a project with 21 recent contributors and 6 years of history, that is a question about one person's role rather than a fragile team — but it is the question to ask.

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.

05.5

3 credential-shaped strings exist in the history

adequate

Matches for private key block were committed at some point across 385 commits examined. Some of the files that held them are still in the working tree. What matters is whether each was rotated after it was committed. The code cannot tell whether any of them is live, and that decides whether this matters: none sits in production configuration, and none is in a format its provider keeps for live keys. Is any of these live? Show that each was rotated after it was committed, and when.

The build runs third-party code it does not pin

adequate

6 third-party CI actions are referenced by a tag or branch rather than a commit, so they run whatever that tag points to on the day. 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.

7 outbound calls can wait forever

adequate

7 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.

12 locked dependencies have published vulnerabilities, 6 high or critical

adequate

12 of 618 locked dependencies match 34 published advisories in OSV, 6 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. This lockfile pins development tools alongside what ships and does not say which is which, so some of these may never reach a user.

102 places insert HTML from a variable without sanitising it

2 advisories against this project in the last 24 months, 2 high or critical

adequate

The newest was published on 2026-07-21. 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 9.4.0. Answer lives in: the release you run, set against each fixed version.

No telemetry or error reporting is wired in anywhere

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

Check it on the running system

13 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.

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.

Anyone can check this report against the authoritative record — click the stamp, or enter TMRF-73B8-DSD2 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.

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).
