Comparison

Extuno vs manual extension review

In short

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 cross-version diffing - on every update, with the finding, the file and line, why it is dangerous, and the recommended action. The output is evidence a reviewer can act on, not a number.

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.

FAQ

Common questions

Does Extuno replace a security team?
No. It automates per-version analysis and surfaces evidence so a security team can scale its judgment across far more software than manual review can cover.
How is this different from a one-time audit?
An audit is a point in time. Extuno re-analyzes every update and diffs it against the prior version, so risk introduced after the audit is still caught.
