## ⚠️ Security Incident Background
|
|
14
|
+
|
|
15
|
+
In January 2022, the same maintainer (marak) deleted all code from faker and replaced it with a protest message. The community fork @faker-js/faker was created to restore the functionality.

### Why this score?
|
|
27
|
+
|
|
28
|
+
- Maintainer Trust is 38 because: single maintainer (bus factor risk), maintainer changes detected
|
|
29
|
+
- Supply Chain is 47 because: 1 known CVEs, in breach database
|
|
30
|
+
- Community is 43 because: no GitHub repo found

|
+
This score is computed from **18+ signals** across **4 categories**:
|
|
73
|
+
- **Maintainer Trust (35%)**: Account age, 2FA, publish cadence, maintainer changes, email domain
|
|
74
|
+
- **Package Health (25%)**: Install scripts, dependency count, license, provenance, size changes, code quality
|
|
75
|
+
- **Supply Chain (25%)**: Live CVEs from 8 databases, known breaches, typosquatting, transitive risk
|
|
76
|
+
- **Community (15%)**: GitHub stars, contributors, CI, OpenSSF Scorecard, npms.io quality
