AGPL-3.0 since 2023-05-05: open source; offering it over a network counts as distributing it, so a hosted product's changes must be published.

103 checks ran across 6 assessable dimensions. None found a significant problem; 3 raised something worth a question. 9 findings, each with evidence. One dimension cannot be assessed without an acquirer.

app/src/main/java/org/thoughtcrime/securesms/database/MessageTable.kt is 7,364 lines, 99× this codebase's median file

adequate

The median source file here is 74 lines. 52 files exceed 1,000 lines, the largest being 7,364. 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.

13 files still carry code deprecated more than two years ago

13 files were marked deprecated over two years ago and still are, the oldest since Jan 2020. A deprecation is a promise to remove. Ask what still depends on these, and whether removing them is scheduled.

2 credential-shaped strings committed to the tree

adequate

Matches for Google API key appear in tracked files outside test and fixture paths. They stay in the history even after they leave the tree, so what matters is whether each was rotated. 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. Only Google API keys matched. Those are often public by design, in a browser app's Firebase or Maps configuration; the question is whether each is restricted to the app's domains and APIs.

Evidence
Google API key 2 cited: Google API key pattern matched

None of the standard security guard rails are configured

adequate

There is no disclosure policy, no automated dependency updates, no named code owners and no pre-commit configuration. None of these is load-bearing on its own. Their collective absence says that security posture here is whatever the current team happens to remember to do, which is not a posture that survives the team changing.

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.

Evidence

3 locked dependencies have published vulnerabilities, 9 high or critical

adequate

3 of 172 locked dependencies match 16 published advisories in OSV, 9 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.

Relicensed: GPL-3.0 → AGPL-3.0 (2023-05-05)

adequate

The root licence changed 1 time(s). The latest terms restrict what users, hosts or a buyer may do in ways the earlier ones did not. Code taken under the old terms stays under them, so both matter in diligence.

A note that does not affect this rating: a licence change is a fact for the first screen, and only a narrowing of rights within two years of the surveyed commit costs "strong".

07 · not assessable · ratings ↑

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

Check it on the running system

4 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.

  1. This is primarily a Kotlin codebase, with Java alongside (31% of source files). Does your engineering organisation already run Kotlin in production, or would this be the first? 07.1
  2. The bulk of this system sits in app/, feature/, lib/. Which of your existing systems would each of those have to absorb or replace? 07.10
  3. The repository carries deployment configuration (reproducible-builds/Dockerfile). 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.

BOREHOLE READING NOT A CERTIFICATION V4E3-5AVS-V0S6 2026-10-04 · 0D8F7D7 BOREHOLE.DEV/VERIFY

Anyone can check this report against the authoritative record — click the stamp, or enter V4E3-5AVS-V0S6 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.

[![Borehole reading, not a certification](https://borehole.dev/badge/signalapp/signal-android/0d8f7d7.svg "Borehole free reading: not for reliance. See the full report.")](https://borehole.dev/verify/V4E35AVSV0S6?via=badge)

Borehole reading V4E3-5AVS-V0S6, not a certification

This commit has been surveyed 14 times

A survey is a reading by a particular version of the assessor. Older readings are kept rather than replaced, because a verification mark attests to the survey it was issued for — overwriting one would make every code already in circulation read as tampered.

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 — 3 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.
