Is react healthy, maintained, and safe?

The verdict

react earns a health score of 72/100, a low risk rating, computed deterministically from live npm release history, maintainer data, and the OSV vulnerability database. Mostly yes — react is maintained, with a couple of watch-items rather than red flags.

Its most recent release shipped on 23 July 2026 — 4 days ago — so development is clearly active. Across 2884 releases the cadence has been steady, which is a good sign of an ongoing maintenance rhythm. Two maintainers are listed; better than a lone author, but still a thin bench if one steps away.

OSV lists 2 known advisories for react, including 1 high. Review whether your version is in the affected range and whether a fixed release is available before depending on it. Each advisory is listed with its OSV/GHSA identifier below.

A couple of watch-items aside, react is a reasonable dependency to rely on; keep an eye on the flagged signals. This is a one-time snapshot of a single package — real projects depend on dozens or hundreds of packages, and any one of them can drift or be compromised between releases.
