Trust signals

Why this verdict

PkgRadar discounts a release’s score when public reputation argues against novel malware. The verdict above already reflects these — the panel just explains what was applied.

Weekly downloads: 17,156Mainstream · −50% score
Versions published: 9
First published: Mar 2026
Publisher: burdenoffcorp

Effective trust discount applied: −50% (max across signals — discounts don’t stack). New install-lifecycle deltas vs the previous release would clear the discount.

Fail the build when this package version is added or upgraded. Replace $PKGRADAR_TOKEN with a Pro / Team API key from your dashboard.

curl -fsS https://pkgradar.com/gate/npm \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PKGRADAR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"specs":["@vibecontrols/[email protected]"],"fail_on":"high"}'
