Deepsec is a security harness for finding vulnerabilities in your codebase powered by coding agents
Is Deepsec safe? Promising trust profile, but some evidence still deserves review.
Compare Deepsec
How does it stack up against its Security & Guardrails neighbours?
Pick any agent to compare →In detail: Deepsec scores 57.6/100 (Grade C), ranked #729 of 1371 tracked open-source AI agent projects, on evidence coverage C (2 of 5 independent signal types). The public evidence: no package-provenance attestation found; OSSF Scorecard rates its supply-chain practices 4.9/10; 100% of recent commits are signed; last pushed 2026-09-29. Every point is earned from checkable signals — never paid placement. How scoring works →
How Deepsec could raise its score
Each line changes one public signal and recomputes with the live scoring function. The gains don't add up exactly, because the score is capped near the top.

Chain of custody
Scanners check what the code says. This traces who ships Deepsec and whether that has changed: from the source repository, through how changes are reviewed and released, to the code you run. These are the checks for OWASP ASI04 Agentic Supply Chain Vulnerabilities.
-
Source Signed
github.com/vercel-labs/deepsec, Apache-2.0, last pushed 2026-09-29. 100% of the last 100 commits carry a verified signature, so changes trace to a verified account.
-
Review and release Mixed
OpenSSF Scorecard rates the repository's practices 4.9/10 (scanned Oct 9, 2026). The checks that decide who can get a change released:
- Code Review2
- Branch Protection3
- Signed Releasesn/a
- Dangerous Workflow10
- Token Permissions0
- Pinned Dependencies6

No registry package. Deepsec is used from its repository, so what you run is whatever you check out: pin a release tag or commit.

Verify this score yourself
Every build re-issues Deepsec’s score as an Ed25519-signed credential, valid for 7 days. You can check it offline against HVTracker’s published key; if anyone changes a number after signing, verification fails.
What this score doesn’t check
It covers who ships the code, not what the code does. It doesn’t read tool descriptions or prompts for injected instructions, watch runtime behaviour, or find bugs nobody has disclosed yet. For that, run a content scanner before you connect it, such as Cisco MCP Scanner or Snyk Agent Scan.

Quick Trust Read
How to read this: HVTrust (0–100) weighs supply-chain signals (provenance, OSSF Scorecard, signed commits, open license) alongside real-world adoption. Grade C reflects the trust score band: A ≥ 80, B ≥ 65, C ≥ 50, D < 50. Evidence coverage C is separate — it grades how many independent signal types back the score (2 of 5), so a high score on thin evidence stays visible. Full methodology →

Does Deepsec publish package provenance?
Does Deepsec have an OpenSSF Scorecard?
Is Deepsec actively maintained?
What license does Deepsec use?
Are Deepsec's commits signed?
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.

Maintain Deepsec?
For maintainers
HVTrust scores Deepsec 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.
