Chances are it's just white paint being shit and cracking so you can see the primer underneath. That area shouldn't be highly loaded so I can't see why the frame would start cracking there. There's a chance the previous owner fell and knocked the bottle which could cause cracks like that. It would be a cheap repair if it is structural.

Grateful for opinions - second hand carbon frame (always a gamble obviously, but very cheap). Cracks around down tube bottle cage bolts, have been filled or painted. I don’t think this is safe, and is likely to gradually deteriorate / open up if I hit a bump. But I don’t know if I’m being too fussy? Thanks
