Score: 84/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-03T02:39:23.370411+00:00)
- activity 99, release rhythm 83, longevity 53
- inputs: {"age_days": 744, "days_push": 8, "days_rel": 32, "gap_med": 4, "n_releases_24m": 72}
- flags: none
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
zizmor is a static analysis tool for CI/CD configurations, primarily GitHub Actions workflows, as well as Dependabot and pre-commit configs. It detects security issues like template injection, credential leakage, and excessive permissions, and can auto-fix some findings.

## Use cases
- scan github actions workflows for security vulnerabilities
- find template injection in ci pipelines
- detect leaked credentials in workflows
- audit workflow permission scopes
- add security scanning to github actions ci
- lint github actions workflow files

## When to choose
- you maintain GitHub Actions workflows and want automated security audits
- you need SARIF output for GitHub code scanning
- you want to catch template injection and credential persistence before attackers do

## When to avoid
- you need static analysis for non-CI/CD code (use a general SAST tool)
- you don't use GitHub Actions, Dependabot, or pre-commit

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: security, linter, vulnerability-scanning, cli, ci-cd
- domain: security, developer-tools
- platform: cli, cross-platform, windows, rust
- tags: github-actions, cicd-security, sarif, dependabot, pre-commit, supply-chain-security, devops, automation, linux, macos, docker
