FactHub auditor: First Look

Findings

Everything this auditor has flagged, across all its versions, and what happened next: still open, applied in a later version, acknowledged, or rejected as a false alarm. A finding raised again by a later run is superseded by the newer one, so each problem is counted once.

24 findings: 21 open, 3 applied.
