microsoft/sudo

Healthy

Healthy across all four use cases

HealthyDependency

Permissive license, no critical CVEs, actively maintained — safe to depend on.

HealthyFork & modify

Has a license, tests, and CI — clean foundation to fork and modify.

HealthyLearn from

Documented and popular — useful reference codebase to read through.

HealthyDeploy as-is

No critical CVEs, sane security posture — runnable as-is.

Scorecard "Branch-Protection" is 0/10; 8 cyclic import chains — pervasive coupling

  • Concentrated ownership — top contributor handles 60% of recent commits
  • No test directory detected
  • Scorecard: default branch unprotected (0/10)
  • Last commit 2w ago
