Caution

One person wrote most of the recent commits.

## Why

- One person wrote 76% of human commits in the last year, so the project depends on them continuing. ([source 1](https://github.com/openai/codex-security/commits), [source 2](https://github.com/openai/codex-security/graphs/contributors))

### What would change this

- A second person takes a substantial share of commits.
- Partly checked: maintenance (Commit counts are estimated: the commit sample stops before the window start, so GitHub's totals were scaled by the sampled bot share.; Authors in the last 90 days are counted from the sampled commits only.)

## Stars

Complete

Not enough data, confidence medium

Bars show stars gained each week. Red bars overlap a burst.

### Bursts

- **Nov 11, 2026 to Nov 14, 2026**: about 2.1k more stars than usual, peak 736 in one day, a shape we can't classify. No outside explanation found, so this burst is unexplained.

Anyone can buy stars for any repo; bursts alone don't prove the owner did.

- Not enough star history yet to judge the star count.
