That hole isn’t a defect, it’s a vent hole from the manufacturing process. The handle is hollow, so a hole needs to be there while the handle is being formed and attached to the pot. The rust is probably only there from running the pot through the dishwasher, but in any case it’s not indicative of a defect in the pot or anything that would eventually rust to the point of failure.

You might not like the hole being there, but I’m pretty sure that stock pot will outlast you, unless you run it over with a steamroller.
