Add Scorecard coverage Expose the repository to OpenSSF Scorecard checks so supply-chain posture is easier to verify.
Publish provenance Add package provenance or release attestations so users can verify where shipped artifacts came from.
Increase signed commits Raise the share of verified-signed commits to make maintainer identity and release history easier to trust.

In Security & Guardrails

How to read this: HVTrust (0–100) weighs supply-chain signals (provenance, OSSF Scorecard, signed commits, open license) alongside real-world adoption. Grade D reflects the trust score band: A ≥ 80, B ≥ 65, C ≥ 50, D < 50. Evidence coverage D is separate — it grades how many independent signal types back the score (1 of 5), so a high score on thin evidence stays visible. Full methodology →

Is pentest-ai safe?

Public trust evidence for pentest-ai 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 pentest-ai publish package provenance?
No published build provenance is currently detected for pentest-ai. This is common for open-source projects but means consumers cannot independently verify that the package on the registry matches the GitHub source.
Does pentest-ai have an OpenSSF Scorecard?
No OpenSSF Scorecard data is currently published for pentest-ai. Maintainers can enable the Scorecard GitHub Action to get a public score; without it, automated supply-chain hygiene is harder for outsiders to verify.
Is pentest-ai actively maintained?
Actively maintained. The repository was pushed to within the last 3 day(s).
What license does pentest-ai use?
pentest-ai ships under MIT. A declared, OSI-approved license is one of the transparency signals HVTrust scores.
Are pentest-ai's commits signed?
3% of the last 100 commits to pentest-ai 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.

Maintain pentest-ai?

For maintainers

HVTrust scores pentest-ai 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.
