AGPL-3.0 since 2026-03-12: 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. 3 findings are worth checking first. 18 findings, each with evidence. One dimension cannot be assessed without an acquirer.

What the repository says about itself
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.

  • 05.20 27 SQL statements built from strings
  • 05.26 15 locked dependencies have published vulnerabilities, 5 high or critical in what ships
  • 05.8 Manifest says Apache-2.0, licence file says AGPL-3.0
Published under today's rules. The verification code attests to this reading as it was stored. This page differs from it as follows.
  • 3 findings from checks Borehole's calibration found wrong more often than right are no longer published.
  • The file and line of 1 credential-shaped match is withheld. File and line are shown to whoever GitHub says controls this repository, signed in, and to a buyer of this report.

2 base images float: no version, or `latest`

adequate

2 of 4 `FROM` lines in product Dockerfiles name an image without a version, or with `latest`. Each build pulls whatever the registry serves that day, so the image that ships can change without a commit, and last month's build cannot be reproduced. Pin a version, or a digest.

Evidence
docker/Dockerfile docker/Dockerfile:368 — base image without a version
docker/Dockerfile docker/Dockerfile:397 — base image without a version

studio/backend/core/inference/diffusion.py is 14,543 lines, 85× this codebase's median file

adequate

The median source file here is 170 lines. 159 files exceed 1,700 lines, the largest being 14,543. 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.

1,843 places catch an error and do nothing with it, across 432 files (1.0 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.

In the last 24 months, one contributor authored more than half of 10,730 non-merge commits among 429 authors; across all history, more than half of 11,263. This is the single most expensive thing to discover after closing, and the repository cannot tell you whether that person is part of the transaction.

1 credential-shaped string committed to the tree

adequate

Matches for JWT 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.

Evidence
JWT JWT pattern matched

05.6

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

05.20

27 SQL statements built from strings

adequate worth checking first

27 places in product code build SQL by formatting or joining strings rather than passing parameters, and in 13 of them a value, not a table or column name, goes into the string. Where any of those values comes from a request, it is an injection point. Each site needs a look; the fix, parameters, is small.

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 studio/backend/auth/storage.py:597 and the 1 other file it cites settles it. If it holds when someone checks it, this finding is significant.

15 locked dependencies have published vulnerabilities, 5 high or critical in what ships

adequate worth checking first

15 of 1,764 locked dependencies match 26 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.

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 studio/frontend/package-lock.json settles it. If it holds when someone checks it, this finding is significant.

Manifest says Apache-2.0, licence file says AGPL-3.0

adequate worth checking first

pyproject.toml declares Apache-2.0. COPYING contains the text of AGPL-3.0. Package managers and downstream users read the first; auditors and acquirers read the second. One of them is wrong, and until it is settled the terms this code is offered under are genuinely ambiguous.

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.

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 HVQQ-GM9Q-D9QE 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.

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.
