Vuln Cost – immersive VS Code extension to surface vulnerabilities

In plain words

Vuln Cost is a VS Code extension that identifies security vulnerabilities in code as developers work. Built for software developers using Visual Studio Code, it surfaces potential security issues within the editor environment. The extension was launched in April 2020 and is maintained by Snyk, a security-focused development platform.

Snyk adds security directly into your IDE with real-time vulnerability scanning of code, open source libraries, and infrastructure as code configurations — and provides actionable fix advice in-line so you can fix quickly and move on. Snyk offers IDE security plugins for JetBrains, Visual Studio Code, Eclipse, and Visual Studio. 75% faster remediation for issues fixed in the IDE with Snyk. By fixing issues early, Snyk Security helps you ace security reviews later down the line and avoid time-intensive or costly fixes downstream in a build process. With automated and guided fixes in line with code, Snyk provides the context and know-how to apply a fix while keeping you in your IDE. No…from snyk.io

  Did you know that VSCode extensions run with full access to your system—including file system, network, and credentials? Worse, dozens of malicious extensions have already made it into the marketplace, silently compromising devices. I am a security researcher and student developer who ran into this problem myself. To help tackle this, I built a 100% free tool (no login required) that scans VSCode (and Cursor/Windsurf) extensions for: - Hidden malware and obfuscated code - Dangerous permissions and API misuse - Vulnerable dependencies and suspicious network connections Users have already…

  Talanoa▲345

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  https://github.com/OlexG/finclaw ^ repo if anyone wants to contribute. I realized that sometimes I'm pretty good at making random guesses about the future. (I.E, I think OpenAI will beat Anthropic in the short term, etc...) However, I'm bad at converting these guesses into actual market plays I can profit from. As such, I wanted to make a tool that connects to the right APIs and launches a swarm of agent experts to generate related plays based on your prediction. The very first super shitty V0 MPV just has Polymarket/Kalshi bets, but I will be adding a more complex…
