"North Korean hackers are turning developer tools into malware delivery channels."
Independent coverage of Yeeth Security's discovery of the ByteBinTools SharePoint C2 backdoor loitering inside the Visual Studio Code Marketplace.
Stop malicious packages at the registry level, before they reach a single user. Built for registry operators and security teams that defend developer ecosystems.
"Yeeth Security helped us enhance the security framework of the Open VSX Registry. Their work introduced pre-publish checks, quarantine workflows, and threat-informed detection mechanisms that significantly strengthen the platform's security while keeping the publishing process straightforward for extension publishers."

Control-Point Architecture
Commercial registry interception paired with free, open-source enforcement for developer IDEs and AI coding agents.
Pre-publish malware scanning that runs inside the registry. Malicious packages are quarantined before they ever go live.
Open-source extension that surfaces Argus risk scores inside VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VSCodium, and other Open VSX editors.
Pre-install CLI hooks for Claude Code and autonomous coding agents. Blocks typosquats and malicious packages before install scripts run.
Check any package, extension, or AI agent skill across 6 independent security engines—argus, guarddog, skillspector, depsdev, osv, and grype—for malware and known vulnerabilities in one verdict.

Our newest work is a vendor-neutral standard for package security, now an Eclipse Foundation project.
Supply Chain Intelligence Exchange. One API between registries and security scanners: a common verdict model, consumer policy, and signed webhooks. Registries can mix or swap scanners without rewriting integrations.

Attackers rotate publisher identities, stage clean placeholders, and trigger payloads in seconds. Here is what changes when you defend the control points directly.
