Two recipes could not see CVEs at all. mattermost-lts has an empty GitHub advisory
feed and renders its security bulletins client-side, so a text sweep finds nothing;
mumble publishes nothing anywhere the registry points. Both returned '?' - nothing
measured - which is honest but useless.
NVD is CPE-indexed and carries structured version ranges, so it answers where the
vendor does not. Declared per recipe as 'nvd-cpe: <image> = <cpe:2.3:...>'.
mattermost-lts 10.5.0 -> 10.12.4 165 CVEs
mattermost-lts 10.11.22 -> 10.12.4 0 CVEs (measured, not unknown)
mumble 1.3.0 -> 1.6.870 2 CVEs
Both NVD range forms are used: versionEndExcluding is a patched version;
versionEndIncluding means the fix version is unpublished but the upgrade delivers
it whenever it crosses X.
That 0 for the actual mattermost upgrade is the interesting one, and it needed a
new rule to be correct: a fix on the line you upgrade FROM was already yours.
mattermost patches every maintained line at once, so 10.11.22 -> 10.12.4 crosses
10.12.1 while 10.11.22 already had the 10.11.4 backport. Without the rule the scan
claimed 12 CVEs the upgrade did not deliver.
The rule is skipped for placeholders: '7.4.X' parses to a bare 7.4 and would read
as 'already fixed at 7.4', which silently dropped redis CVE-2024-46981 and took
discourse 140 -> 139 before I caught it.
79 tests. discourse 140 / gitea 2 / mailu 2 / keycloak 12 / plausible 6 unchanged.
Fleet sweep: 0 recipes with no usable CVE source, down from 2.
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.
