Closed
#110 The IP lookup accepts an unbounded address list, gives PTR lookups no limit of their own, and echoes private addresses of internal names
Closed
#100 Shutdown ignores its deadline and upaas kills the container 10 seconds after SIGTERM, so the final writes are cut off and a stop exits with status 1
Closed
#109 The IP lookup answers 404 "No routes found" when the database read fails

Closed
#104 The AS page reads every route of the AS, one random row per peer and prefix, so the largest ASes head for a 504 as the tables fill
Closed
#106 The WHOIS client reads a server's answer into memory with no size cap and follows a referral to any host and port
Closed
#105 A WHOIS lookup whose RIR query fails or returns nothing is stored as complete and the AS is not retried for 30 days
Closed
#101 A peer-down whose route delete fails or is cut short is lost for good, so the peer's routes stay live
Closed
#107 The image builds and tests the daemon with Go 1.24, a release line that no longer receives security fixes
Closed
#103 The home page cannot look up any IPv6 address: percent-encoded URL parameters are read undecoded and answer 400
Closed
#72 README endpoint list and database schema do not match the code
Closed
#96 The prefix handler drops a quarter of its updates on the live feed: route writes are slower than the feed
Closed
#94 Database maintenance fails or makes batch writes fail: it runs outside the database lock
Closed
#69 Shutdown loses the updates still in the handler queues
Closed
#75 An AS set in a path is flattened into the path, giving a wrong origin AS and false peerings
Closed
#92 bgp_peer_count never drops to 0
Closed
#74 bgp_peer_count in /api/v1/stats counts only peers whose session opened since startup
Closed

Closed
#76 A feed line longer than 64 KiB ends the connection

Closed
#70 A request past its time limit answers 408, and /api/v1/stats answers 500
Closed
#65 The batch handlers take nothing off their queues while they write to the database, so updates are dropped
Closed
#55 Live routes keyed by origin AS: an origin change or a withdrawal sent with announcements leaves a stale route
Closed
#53 The feed stops for good, health still ok, when RIS Live ends or stalls the connection
Closed
#67 The prefix page reads every route of each origin AS just to show the AS name

Closed
#68 reconnect_count in /api/v1/stats never leaves 0
