Scorecard: Assess Open Source Project Security

The OpenSSF Scorecard is a tool designed to assess open source projects for security risks through automated checks. It can be used via GitHub Actions to scan code updates for vulnerabilities or manually through the Command Line to check repositories and select specific tests. The tool provides scores and risk levels for vulnerabilities across different aspects of the software supply chain, offering remediation prompts to strengthen development practices. It aims to help users understand and mitigate security risks in their projects, focusing on areas like code vulnerabilities, maintenance, continuous testing, source code risk assessment, and build process risk assessment. OpenSSF Scorecard is part of the Open Source Security Foundation and aims to improve the security of open source software by providing a standardized approach to assessing security postures. Users can leverage the tool to proactively assess security risks, make informed decisions about dependencies, and enhance the overall security of their projects.
