Extuno vs manual extension review
Manual review catches what a person reads once; it does not scale to every version of every dependency. Extuno automates static, dynamic, and version-diff analysis so each update is re-checked with evidence, not re-read by hand.
What does manual review miss?
A human reviews a package or extension once, at adoption. They rarely re-read the diff of every later update across a large dependency tree, and obfuscated or remotely hosted code is hard to judge by reading. The poisoned-update class lives in exactly that gap.
What does Extuno automate?
Every version is read three ways: static rules, a dynamic sandbox, and a diff against the release before it. That runs on every update. Each finding names the file and line, why it is dangerous, and what to do about it. The output is evidence a reviewer can act on.
Is automation a replacement for analysts?
No. It is leverage for them. Extuno does the repetitive per-version work and surfaces evidence so analysts spend their time on judgment and response, not on re-reading minified code by hand.
