Noticed some paint bumbling around the bosses on my fork, it looks like water has gotten in through the front brake internal cable routing port and caused corrosion.
Will this affect the structural integrity of the fork blade?

Is the fork carbon?
The bosses are usually aluminum riv-nuts or similar. Bit of corrosion on them is probably no big deal. Grease them up when you reinstall bolts.
Those are “rivnuts”, rivets with a screw thread- theyre meant to be there and the fork is planned for them.
It looks like the overpaintng on them has bubbled but the rivets themselves are sound, in which case the fork is.
I’d clean up the pain maybe with a scalpel and drop some lacquer or acrylic paint over the damage to protect things.
It’s just paint you will be fine
Haha! At first I thought it was a bull it hole!!
