In detail: OpenAI CUA Sample App scores 54.4/100 (Grade C), ranked #869 of 1374 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 5.8/10; 41% of recent commits are signed; last pushed 2026-10-19. Every point is earned from checkable signals — never paid placement. How scoring works →

How OpenAI CUA Sample App 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 OpenAI CUA Sample App 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.

  1. Source Partly signed

    github.com/openai/openai-cua-sample-app, MIT, last pushed 2026-10-19. 41% of the last 100 commits carry a verified signature; the rest can't be tied to a verified identity.

  2. Review and release Mixed

    OpenSSF Scorecard rates the repository's practices 5.8/10 (scanned Nov 5, 2026). The checks that decide who can get a change released:

    • Code Review10

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

Evidence behind this score

Coverage C: 2 of 5 independent evidence types found.

  • GitHub repository data
  • Package downloads (missing)
  • Supply-chain checks
  • Public actions (missing)
  • Community mentions (missing)

Verify this score yourself

Every build re-issues OpenAI CUA Sample App’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.

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 →

Common questions about OpenAI CUA Sample App

Public trust evidence for OpenAI CUA Sample App is thin: several supply-chain signals are missing or weak. This does not mean the project is unsafe — it means an outside observer cannot easily verify the usual integrity checks. Treat with extra scrutiny.
Does OpenAI CUA Sample App publish package provenance?
No published build provenance is currently detected for OpenAI CUA Sample App. This is common for open-source projects but means consumers cannot independently verify that the package on the registry matches the GitHub source.
Does OpenAI CUA Sample App have an OpenSSF Scorecard?
OpenAI CUA Sample App 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 OpenAI CUA Sample App actively maintained?
Maintained. Last push was 17 days ago.
What license does OpenAI CUA Sample App use?
OpenAI CUA Sample App ships under MIT. A declared, OSI-approved license is one of the transparency signals HVTrust scores.
Are OpenAI CUA Sample App's commits signed?
41% of the last 100 commits to OpenAI CUA Sample App are verified-signed (GPG, SSH, S/MIME, or GitHub's signing flow). Signed commits help confirm that code was authored by who the commit claims.

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.
