CANARY forecast · as of 2026-06
github-branch-source
Activity-recency clocks + Contributor dynamics · Logistic Regression: the frozen champion fold model (oot_champion/fold_2025-11, trained on months before 2025-11, labels as known 2025-12) applied to the newest month of the panel. Inference only; no outcome for this month is known yet.
Read the rank, not the score. The score is the model's raw output and is not a probability: on the holdout the champion's mean score is about 0.5 against an observed advisory rate of 1 percent. Across the pre-registered holdout, reviewing the top fifth of plugins by this ranking caught about half of the advisories that followed.
Honest track record
Where github-branch-source ranked before each window
Activity-recency clocks + Contributor dynamics · Logistic Regression, embargoed rolling backtest: the rank this plugin held among every scored plugin at each forecast date, using only what was knowable then. Shaded months are the pre-registered holdout.
Scored at 32 forecast dates; on average in the top 0.62% of plugins (top 0.09% across the holdout). An advisory followed within six months of 3 of those dates.
| Holdout month | Score | Rank | Share of panel | What followed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-07 | 83.3% | 6 of 2,053 | top 0.24% | none within six months |
| 2025-08 | 85.9% | 3 of 2,053 | top 0.10% | none within six months |
| 2025-09 | 88.2% | 2 of 2,053 | top 0.05% | none within six months |
| 2025-10 | 89.3% | 2 of 2,053 | top 0.05% | SECURITY-3702 2026-04-29 |

Supporting signals
Maintenance history, governance artifacts, SLSA provenance and known advisories in dependencies, read from the plugin's current public state. A practitioner's dashboard, not part of the validated forecast.
Key risk signals
- 4 prior advisory record(s) — history +8, recency +10 (0 within 90d, 2 within 365 days); component total +18 (cap 30).
- Advisory severity (max CVSS 5.0 — Medium): +9 (cap 15).
- Latest release: 2026-08-05.
- Requires Jenkins core 2.541.1.
- Last commit: November 2, 2026 — live data from GitHub.
- Recent release activity supports active maintenance.
- 5 historical security warning(s) — none currently active.
- No SECURITY.md — vulnerability reporting process undocumented (+3).
- No Dependabot or GitHub Actions detected — limited automated maintenance (+3).
- Dependency risk: 3 of 10 dep(s) have advisories; worst: workflow-support (CVSS 8.8).
- Plugin health score 97/100 — acceptable maintenance posture.
