packages/nocodb-sdk/src/lib/Api.ts is 19,953 lines, 249× this codebase's median file

adequate

The median source file here is 80 lines. 120 files exceed 1,000 lines, the largest being 19,953. 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. Measured against its own codebase's median, it is larger than 94% of 382 surveyed projects' largest files.

Tests cover a thin slice of the codebase

adequate

170 direct dependencies in a single manifest

adequate worth checking first

packages/nocodb/package.json declares 170 direct dependencies. Each one is a maintenance obligation, a supply-chain surface and a potential licence question that transfers with the asset. The count says nothing about whether any given dependency was a good choice; it says how many such choices a buyer inherits.

The check that found this reads significant, but it has not yet held up often enough in Borehole's calibration to rate a finding significant on its own. Opening packages/nocodb/package.json and the 3 other files it cites settles it. If it holds when someone checks it, this finding is significant.

API v1, v2 and v3 have been served together for 30 months

v3 first appeared in Apr 2024, and v1, v2 is still in the code 30 months later. Two versions mean two surfaces to secure, document and support. Ask who still calls the old one, and whether retiring it is planned.

1 credential-shaped string exists in the history

adequate

Matches for AWS access key were committed at some point across 20,000 commits examined (the scan stopped at its limit, so older history was not read). 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

7 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; 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.

12 SQL statements built from strings

adequate

12 places in product code build SQL by formatting or joining strings rather than passing parameters. 4 of them put a value into the string; in the rest, what the code shows going in is a table or column name, a constant, or something the line does not show. Ask whether any value reaches these strings, rather than a parameter.

16 places insert HTML from a variable without sanitising it

adequate

16 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.

LICENSE.md grants SUL-1.0: source available, not open source; use limited to internal business purposes. The reading comes from the licence's own title and clauses. Whether the terms fit the buyer's intended use, and whether any paid licence transfers with the code, is a question for counsel and the licensor.

124 advisories against this project in the last 24 months, 39 high or critical

adequate

The newest was published on 2026-11-03. 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 107 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 0.301.5. Answer lives in: the release you run, set against each fixed version.

Sends usage data to telemetry.nocodb.com by default

packages/nc-secret-mgr/src/nocodb/cli.js sends to telemetry.nocodb.com, and charts/nocodb/values.yaml leaves reporting on as shipped. Every installation reports to the vendor unless its operator turns this off. For a buyer running it inside their own product, that is an outbound data flow to a third party: ask what is sent, how often, and whether the buyer's customers were told.

Readiness and liveness probes are identical in 1 of 1 workloads

adequate

Both probes call the same endpoint. When a dependency slows down, the liveness probe fails with the readiness probe, so the platform restarts pods that only needed taking out of rotation, and a partial outage becomes a full one. Liveness should ask whether the process is alive; readiness whether it can serve.

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

Check it on the running system

6 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.

Appendix: rejection log — 85 signals that ran and did not fire

Published on purpose. A signal that looked and decided not to fire has told you something, and this is the calibration data behind every threshold above.

BOREHOLE READING NOT A CERTIFICATION R40Y-6TNS-6E90 2026-10-22 · 9F89D36 BOREHOLE.DEV/VERIFY

Anyone can check this report against the authoritative record — click the stamp, or enter R40Y-6TNS-6E90 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).
