About:
Scorecard is an automated security tool that assesses the security posture of open-source projects. It uses a series of automated checks to evaluate risks like vulnerabilities, maintenance activity, and security practices. Its main value is providing a standardized, data-driven security score to help users evaluate dependencies and maintainers improve their projects.
Key Features:
  • Automated security risk assessments
  • Standardized scoring (0-10) for easy comparison
  • Checks for vulnerabilities, CI/CD, and code review practices
  • Supports GitHub and GitLab repositories
  • Can be run via CLI, API, or GitHub Action
Use Cases:
  • Evaluating the security risk of open-source dependencies before integration
  • Monitoring the security health of your organization's own open-source projects
  • Prioritizing security improvements based on automated check results
Alternatives:
  • Snyk Open Source – Commercial SCA tool with broader vulnerability scanning and license compliance.
  • deps.dev – Google's service for analyzing package dependencies and vulnerabilities.
