What is here
| Page | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Platform Security Assessment 2026-08 | 184 findings across 17 repositories, nine root causes, and the backlog that comes out of them |
| Drop Security Audit | The earlier phenom-drop audit |
| Drop Remediation Tracker | Remediation status against that audit |
These two records disagree, and the disagreement is not resolved
The drop audit and its tracker report phenom-drop as remediated. The 2026-08 platform assessment records 22 open findings against phenom-drop, including a Critical.
The two reviews had different scopes and different dates, so this is not necessarily a contradiction. It is also not resolved. Treat the platform assessment as the current picture for phenom-drop until someone reconciles them, and read MGR-C01 before quoting the tracker’s status to anyone.
