"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

Purpose-built supply chain defense

Commercial registry interception paired with free, open-source enforcement for developer IDEs and AI coding agents.

DevGuard

Stage 2 · Free IDE

Open-source extension that surfaces Argus risk scores inside VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VSCodium, and other Open VSX editors.

  • Real-time risk flags on installed and browsed extensions
  • Detects look-alike publishers, bidi spoofs, and known droppers
  • AGPL-3.0 open source, zero account setup required
Install DevGuard

Yeeth Claw

Stage 3 · Free Agent

Pre-install CLI hooks for Claude Code and autonomous coding agents. Blocks typosquats and malicious packages before install scripts run.

  • Covers npm, pip, yarn, pnpm, and cargo agent commands
  • Stops prompt-injected package installs before shell execution
  • Open source with optional live Argus API lookup

pkgscan.dev — The "VirusTotal" of supply chain security.

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.

Open Standards

Building in the open

Our newest work is a vendor-neutral standard for package security, now an Eclipse Foundation project.

Eclipse Foundation project

Eclipse SCINTX

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.

See it live pkgscan.dev Scan any package with 6 independent engines through SCINTX. One verdict.

Why Pre-Publish & Runtime Defense Matters

Reactive takedowns are too late.

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

Without Yeeth

After the package lands

  • Reactive registry takedowns after hundreds or thousands of developers have already installed the payload
  • Blind IDE extension installs across VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf with no visibility into delayed or staged updates
  • Unchecked AI coding agents running npm, pip, and MCP servers without pre-install verification
  • Signature-only scanners that miss native .node binaries, MP4 steganography, and blockchain dead-drops
With Yeeth Security

Blocked at every control point

  • Pre-publish quarantine (Argus) intercepts malicious uploads inside the registry before a single user can download them
  • Inline IDE risk scores (DevGuard) surface live verdicts inside VS Code and Open VSX editors at install time
  • Pre-install agent hooks (Yeeth Claw) block typosquats and risky dependencies before coding agents execute install scripts
  • Primary-source threat intel from the team behind 33+ public IDE and registry malware investigations
