How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score →
Supply Chain Security81
- No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
- Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (98 of 102), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.Partial
- Runs a script at install time (postinstall) that we could not recognise. It may be perfectly ordinary, but we do not read the published tarball, so we cannot say what it does. View diagnostics → Partial
