regex 2026.9.29 is the current default version of this PyPI package, published on 2026-09-29. The registry lists 370 versions in total and the licence declared is Apache-2.0 AND CNRI-Python. The source repository is mrabarnett/mrab-regex with 604 stars.
The OpenSSF Scorecard for the repository was last computed on 2026-08-24 and gives an overall 4.9/10. Signals that are not in place today: security policy; code review before merge; ci workflow hygiene; signed releases or provenance.
As of 2026-10-05, deps.dev lists no known advisories for this version. That is a snapshot and not a promise: new advisories can be published at any time.
If you ship a product that includes regex, the Cyber Resilience Act expects you to know which components you ship, to follow their vulnerabilities and to exercise due diligence on third-party components (Annex I, Part II and Article 13). In practice: list regex 2026.9.29 in your SBOM with its package URL pkg:pypi/[email protected], watch for new advisories, and note that you have no published security contact upstream, so plan how you would report a problem. With several signals missing, consider whether a better-maintained alternative exists.
