Its most recent release shipped on 20 June 2026 — 38 days ago — so development is clearly active. Across 54 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 1 known advisory for uuid, of assorted severity. 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.
The signals are green today, but a clean snapshot is not a standing guarantee — packages drift. 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. Run your own package.json through the free health check, or have OSPulse monitor your whole dependency tree continuously.
