Follow-up to the nginx blind spot. Sweeping all 22 recipes for sources whose CVEs
are USABLE (structured advisory feed, or a changelog attributable to releases)
rather than merely visible.
Before the changelog-attribution fix: 20 unusable sources. After: 5, and all five
are redundant - the same project also publishes an advisory feed (redis, gitea,
minio, clickhouse), so nothing is actually lost.
One real find, same shape as nginx: ONLYOFFICE/DocumentServer publishes NO GitHub
advisories, and the registry pointed its CHANGELOG.md at the GitHub *blob* page -
636KB of markup in which the release headings do not survive HTML-stripping, so 24
CVEs were visible and NONE attributable. The raw URL attributes all 24. Rather than
fix one registry line, advisory-scan now normalises github.com/../blob/.. to
raw.githubusercontent.com, which fixes every entry present and future.
lasuite-drive bumps documentserver, so this was live.
Genuinely blind after all that: mattermost-lts and mumble - no advisory feed, no
attributable changelog, no CVE data anywhere the registry points. mattermost is the
notable one: its bulletins are client-side rendered, so a regex sweep sees nothing.
Their scans can report 0 while nothing was measured, so /cve-check now renders those
recipes as ? and says why.
The audit output distinguishes a blind RECIPE from an unparseable PAGE, because
conflating them made 5 harmless redundancies look like 5 gaps.
A recipe tracks an image repo and a set of registry URLs. When upstream moves,
nothing errors — the old repo just stops receiving tags and the recipe looks
'up to date' forever. plausible is the case: it tracked plausible/analytics on
Docker Hub while upstream moved to ghcr.io/plausible/community-edition. Every
survey said 'no upgrades available' while v3 shipped elsewhere.
audit-sources.py reports the signals that catch it, per image and per registry
URL: image gone quiet (newest tag older than --quiet-days), deprecation wording
in the registry description, and GitHub repos that are archived, renamed or
gone. Signals, not verdicts — a stable image can be quiet for good reason — so
each finding says what was measured.
First run over 22 recipes, 11 findings, 4 alerts. It independently re-derived
the plausible case (analytics quiet 1126 days), and found:
- drone: harness/drone now answers as harness/harness (the image is fine)
- lasuite-docs, lasuite-drive: minio/minio is ARCHIVED on GitHub
- lasuite-docs: docspecio/api is ARCHIVED
- matrix-synapse: halfshot/matrix-appservice-discord image quiet 2078 days
- mumble: NO cc-ci-plan/upstream/mumble.md at all
That last one exposed a scanner bug. With no registry file there is no source to
query, yet the scan still printed '0 identified by the deterministic scan' — and
that 0 was published as a clean count in the 2026-08-11 CVE check. A scan with no
usable source has measured nothing and must not report a number, least of all 0.
It now returns UNKNOWN and says the registry file is missing.
upstream/mumble.md added; mumble now scans 6 sources for a genuine 0.
