Worth checking first

Borehole's proprietary scoring is calibrated across hundreds of repositories. Each finding here reads significant, but its check has not yet held up often enough in that calibration to rate significant on its own. If one holds when someone checks it, it is significant.

backend/onyx/db/models.py is 7,805 lines, 72× this codebase's median file

adequate

The median source file here is 107 lines. 79 files exceed 1,070 lines, the largest being 7,805. 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.

Tests are retried until they pass

adequate

The suite is configured to retry failing tests (web/playwright.config.ts). A retry turns a flaky test green without saying why it failed, so a green build means the tests passed eventually. Ask how many retries a typical run needs, and which tests need them.

05.1

21 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. 3 other matchs set aside: expired tokens, licence tokens a vendor verifies with a public key, or placeholder text where a key would go. None grants access to anything.

Evidence
AWS access key 2 cited: AWS access key, where fakes are usual
Slack token 3 cited: Slack token, where fakes are usual

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.

05.26

30 locked dependencies have published vulnerabilities, 4 high or critical in what ships

adequate worth checking first

30 of 1,120 locked dependencies match 72 published advisories in OSV, 17 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.

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 uv.lock settles it. If it holds when someone checks it, this finding is significant.

Evidence
uv.lock uv.lock — aiohttp 3.14.3: GHSA-2g87-pp6c-29x5 (high), fixed in 3.14.4

Part of the code is under a separate licence: backend/ee/, web/src/app/ee/, web/src/ee/

A directory named for a paid edition carries its own licence. That code is usually not open source even where the rest is; what the buyer may do with each part differs.

The build runs third-party code it does not pin

adequate

3 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.

05.13

12 outbound calls can wait forever

adequate

12 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.

11 places insert HTML from a variable without sanitising it

adequate

11 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.

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

adequate

The newest was published on 2026-09-04. 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 4.2.0. Answer lives in: the release you run, set against each fixed version. GHSA-7f48-vgpj-h95m (moderate) is fixed in the surveyed commit; which release carries it cannot be told from this history, which does not place the release users run. Answer lives in: the version you run. The record is incomplete: NVD: 7 records name onyx with nothing tying them to this repository (CVE-2020-11584, CVE-2023-43784, CVE-2024-0101, …).

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
CVE-2026-85700 2026-09-04: CVE-2026-85700 (high): Onyx 4.6.6 fails to properly restrict access to custom tool credentials stored in custom_headers, allowing any authenticated user to read admin-defined API keys
GHSA-7f48-vgpj-h95m 2026-07-20: GHSA-7f48-vgpj-h95m (moderate), fixed in 4.3.0: Curator-scope IDOR: any curator can modify membership of arbitrary user groups via unscoped PATCH /manage/admin/user-group/{id} and /add-users leading to cross-
GHSA-q62f-rv3h-f822 2026-07-20: GHSA-q62f-rv3h-f822 (critical), fixed in 4.0.0+: Cross-user OAuth-token leak via /api/mcp/servers* for per-user MCP servers
GHSA-rw6w-hp62-gc8w 2026-04-29: GHSA-rw6w-hp62-gc8w (moderate), fixed in 3.0.9: IDOR in /chat/stop-chat-session allows any authenticated user to interrupt other users chat sessions

Observability & Operations

Sends usage data to telemetry.onyx.app by default

adequate

backend/onyx/utils/fleet_telemetry.py sends to telemetry.onyx.app, and backend/onyx/background/celery/tasks/monitoring/tasks.py 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.

Evidence
backend/onyx/utils/fleet_telemetry.py backend/onyx/utils/fleet_telemetry.py:35 — reports to telemetry.onyx.app

Readiness and liveness probes are identical in 2 of 12 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.

Evidence

Schema migrations run every time a container starts

adequate

The start command runs the database migration and then the server, and the deployment runs more than one replica. Replicas race to migrate, a rollback cannot undo the schema, and a failed migration takes the service down with it. A separate job or release step is the usual fix.

Fit with the Acquirer

07 · not assessable · ratings ↑

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

Check it on the running system

9 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.

07 · none coverage

Not rated: structurally not assessable from a repository.

  1. This is primarily a TypeScript codebase, with Python alongside (47% of source files). Does your engineering organisation already run TypeScript in production, or would this be the first? 07.1
  2. The bulk of this system sits in backend/, web/, deployment/. Which of your existing systems would each of those have to absorb or replace? 07.10
  3. 34% of lines added in the last 12 months (26% of added lines) came through AI-declared commits. Does your organisation have a policy on inheriting and maintaining that code, and does your engineering team's tooling match how it was produced? 07.9
  4. The repository carries deployment configuration (backend/Dockerfile and 236 more). Does that match your deployment and on-call model, or does it need rehosting first? 07.2
  5. 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?
  6. Which of these systems duplicate yours, and which get retired? Answer lives in: Your architecture07.11
  7. What will integration cost, and in what order? Answer lives in: The engagement07.12
  8. Where does the team land in your organisation, and who reports to whom? Answer lives in: Your org design07.13
  9. Are there earn-outs, retention packages or contractor IP to assign? Answer lives in: Deal terms07.14
  10. 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.
