Meterian Security is a completely free extension that detects open-source vulnerabilities in your project dependencies and helps you fix them, without leaving your IDE.

It supports 10+ languages and package managers, works with VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VSCodium, and Theia, and integrates with AI assistants via a built-in MCP server, so you can ask your AI "is any of my libraries vulnerable?" and get an instant answer backed by the Meterian vulnerability database.

What data is transferred by the plugin?

The system is powered by the Meterian Kiwi vulnerability database. The APIs are called passing an opaque identifier as an authorization header; the data transferred is the name, version and language of a library. Additionally another API is called from Meterian Heidi backend services, which is used to track activity. Any identity information is anonymized, encrypted with strong cipher, and cannot be deciphered.

Contributing feedback

While the extension is closed source and the issue tracker repository contains no code, your feedback directly shapes our backlog and priorities. The extension is completely free to use.
