Koidex is a security tool designed to help developers and users quickly assess the safety of software packages, IDE extensions, and AI models before installation. It addresses the critical need for due diligence in modern development workflows where malicious code can easily hide in seemingly normal developer tooling.

The product offers unified search capabilities across multiple platforms including VS Code, Chrome, JetBrains, npm, and Hugging Face. It features behavior-based scoring that focuses on what the code actually does rather than just what the listing claims. Koidex provides readable risk summaries covering vulnerabilities, deep dependencies, permissions, and publisher signals. The Catch of the Day feature highlights fresh suspicious or malicious items spotted in the wild. Users can install the Koidex IDE extension for real-time background scanning across VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VSCodium, and other platforms.

Koidex works by analyzing software components across multiple ecosystems through a unified search interface. The system evaluates packages based on their actual behavior and provides comprehensive risk assessments that go beyond surface-level information.

The primary benefit is enabling quick safety checks before installing any software component, reducing the risk of introducing malicious code into development environments. This addresses real-world security threats demonstrated by the team's research into vulnerabilities like GlassWorm, ShadyPanda, and PhantomRaven.

Koidex targets developers and organizations working with software packages, IDE extensions, and AI models who need to ensure security compliance. The tool integrates with popular development platforms and provides real-time scanning capabilities through IDE extensions.
