Our verdict

With a security score of 40/100, this server is classified as high-risk. This rating stems from the fact that it is not yet editorially reviewed and its authentication methods have not been verified. Due to the potential for sensitive CI/CD data exposure, users should exercise caution, ensure the server is run in an isolated containerized environment, and rely on their own reverse proxy infrastructure to handle authentication.

Zero direct dependencies reduce the supply-chain attack surface.
Built using Chainguard static images running as unprivileged users.
Actively maintained with the latest commit occurring today.
Open source and available under the MIT license.

The Go API is currently unstable and prone to breaking changes.
Official vendor support status is currently unconfirmed.
Header passthrough functionality is not supported in stdio mode.

Frequently asked questions

›What deployment environment is recommended for this server?

It is recommended to run the server in a container to ensure a secure environment.

›How can I authenticate individual requests using the HTTP mode?

You can allow the Authorization header using the BUILDKITE_PASSTHROUGH_HTTP_HEADERS environment variable, which requires each request to contain a unique, non-empty Authorization header.

›Does the server support header passthrough in stdio mode?

No, header passthrough is not available when running the server in stdio mode.

›How are job logs protected?

The server verifies that the current caller has permission to access a job log for every log-tool request, even if the data is already cached.

›Can I use the Go API for this project?

The exported Go API is considered unstable and is subject to breaking changes as the project evolves.
