How is this calculated?

The six dimensions group the legacy score signals into weighted categories: direct vulnerability status, patch responsiveness, dependency exposure, provenance checks, maintainer activity, and exploitability risk. The flat component values above remain available for compatibility.

Scorecard

Scorecard 5.0/10

OpenSSF Scorecard evaluates supply-chain security practices automatically. Score ≥ 6 is passing; ≥ 8 is excellent.

OpenSSF Badge

OpenSSF none

Badge indicates adherence to open-source best practices.

CVE Patch History

Median patch time: 0 days

Tracks CVEs that were addressed in tagged releases. Shorter gap between disclosure and patch = faster response. EPSS = predicted probability of exploitation in next 30 days (FIRST.org); colored at ≥90%ile and ≥50%ile.
