Activity sub-score · out of 100

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 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 →

Is T3MP3ST safe?

T3MP3ST has a mixed signal profile. Some trust indicators are present, others are missing. Whether it is safe for your use case depends on which gaps matter to you — review the breakdown below before adopting in production.

Does T3MP3ST publish package provenance?

No published build provenance is currently detected for T3MP3ST. This is common for open-source projects but means consumers cannot independently verify that the package on the registry matches the GitHub source.

Does T3MP3ST have an OpenSSF Scorecard?

T3MP3ST has an OpenSSF Scorecard score of 4.1/10. 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 T3MP3ST actively maintained?

Maintained. Last push was 10 days ago.

What license does T3MP3ST use?

T3MP3ST ships under AGPL-3.0. A declared, OSI-approved license is one of the transparency signals HVTrust scores.

Are T3MP3ST's commits signed?

97% of the last 100 commits to T3MP3ST 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 T3MP3ST?

For maintainers

HVTrust scores T3MP3ST 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.
