Audience
Developers, security teams, and IT organizations requiring a tool to assess the safety of extensions, packages, and AI models before installation
About Koidex
Koidex is a lightweight security analysis tool from Koi Security that helps developers and security teams quickly determine whether a software package, browser extension, or AI model is safe to install. It provides a unified search interface across ecosystems such as VS Code, Chrome Web Store, JetBrains, npm, and Hugging Face, enabling users to perform rapid due diligence before introducing new software into their environment. Its behavior-based risk scoring engine analyzes what code actually does rather than relying solely on marketplace metadata or reputation signals, producing readable summaries that highlight vulnerabilities, permissions, deep dependencies, and publisher indicators. It also surfaces newly detected suspicious items through a “Catch of the Day” feed, helping teams stay aware of emerging threats in developer tooling. Koidex can be used directly in the browser or through an IDE extension that continuously scans installed plugins.
