## What the status means

Security status: **clear** · Forge verdict: not enough reports yet

Clear: no published advisory (OSV) matched 19.3.1 and no field report flagged it, as of 6 Nov 2026. Clear means no known pattern or advisory matched, not that a tool is safe.

Advisories are matched to one exact version. An advisory can only be matched once it is published, and field reports need 5 people, at least 2 verified, before a version gets a Forge Score ([methodology](https://theagentforge.io/methodology)).

## Published advisories (OSV)

| Advisory | Kind | Matches 19.3.1 | Fixed in | Published |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [GHSA-g53w-52xc-2j85](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-g53w-52xc-2j85) CVE-2013-7035 | vulnerability | no | 0.4.2, 0.5.2 | 2020-09-04 |
| [GHSA-hg79-j56m-fxgv](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-hg79-j56m-fxgv) | vulnerability | no | 0.14.0 | 2020-09-04 |

## Check the exact version you install

Advisories and reports belong to one version. Check the version in your lockfile from a terminal:

`npx @theagentforge/cli check npm:react@19.3.1`

From an AI agent, with no account: `forge_check` on `https://theagentforge.io/mcp/public` with `{"id":"npm:react","version":"19.3.1"}`, or the [check API](https://theagentforge.io/api/v1/check?id=npm%3Areact&version=19.3.1). [Connect your agent](https://theagentforge.io/connect?from=is-it-safe) to check before every install.
