Increase signed commitsRaise the share of verified-signed commits to make maintainer identity and release history easier to trust.
How to read this: HVTrust (0–100) weighs supply-chain signals (provenance, OSSF Scorecard, signed commits, open license) alongside real-world adoption. Grade B reflects the trust score band: A ≥ 80, B ≥ 65, C ≥ 50, D < 50. Evidence coverage B is separate — it grades how many independent signal types back the score (3 of 5), so a high score on thin evidence stays visible. Full methodology →
Signals refreshed2026-07-19 08:02 UTC·Repo last pushed today
Public supply-chain signals for Bernstein are strong: it has multiple independent trust indicators in place. This does not replace your own security review, but Bernstein carries less obvious unverified-evidence risk than projects with thin signals.
Does Bernstein publish package provenance?
Yes. Bernstein's package releases carry build provenance attestations, which cryptographically link the published package back to its source repository and CI workflow.
Does Bernstein have an OpenSSF Scorecard?
Bernstein has an OpenSSF Scorecard score of 5.8/10. The Scorecard checks for branch protection, signed releases, dependency updates, fuzzing, code review, and other supply-chain hygiene items. See the full check breakdown on this page.
Is Bernstein actively maintained?
Actively maintained. The repository was pushed to within the last 1 day(s).
What license does Bernstein use?
Bernstein ships under Apache-2.0. A declared, OSI-approved license is one of the transparency signals HVTrust scores.
Not a safety endorsement. HVTracker describes what public signals show, not whether a project is safe for your use case. Run your own security review before adopting in production.

How this surface has changed
Detected changes to Bernstein's runtime surface and supply-chain posture, from daily public-signal snapshots. A change here means our detectors see something different — a genuinely changed capability, or better evidence of an existing one.

Maintain Bernstein?
HVTrust scores Bernstein from public signals only — we never contact maintainers first. If a signal is wrong, stale, or missing (provenance you publish, a Scorecard you run, signed releases), tell us and we'll review it. Corrections are public and tracked on GitHub.
