Features
Malware Scanning Features
Get Notified Instantly
Get critical alerts via email or Slack/Teams the moment Aikido detects malware. (Legacy SCA scanners don’t offer this real-time protection.)
Avoid Downtime, Breaches, and Public Fallout
Malicious packages can hijack resources for crypto mining, obfuscate your code to hide backdoors, and leak sensitive data—leading to severe breaches and massive server costs if not caught.
Real-Time Malware Blocking in Your IDE

FAQ
More to explore
How is Aikido’s malware detection different from a typical dependency scanner?
Aikido doesn’t wait for CVEs. It analyzes packages for signals of malicious code—like obfuscated code, exfiltration scripts, or install-time commands—before they’re reported elsewhere.
What ecosystems does Aikido monitor for malicious packages?
We monitor all packages on NPM and PyPI, reviewing thousands of packages every day.
How fast can Aikido detect new malware in open-source packages?
In minutes. We often detect and block threats before they are publicly disclosed. Example: the Ripple xrpl backdoor.
Does Aikido rely on CVE data or detect zero-day malware?
We do not rely on CVE data, and can detect threats that have not previously been seen, due to our unique combination of detection strategies that will unusual, and outright malicious code.
How does the AI-assisted analysis work in practice?
AI reviews code for signs of obfuscation, data theft, backdoors, privilege abuse, and other unusual patterns that may indicate malicious code.. Our human researchers validate edge cases where the AI is unable to confirm if the code is malicious.
How often is the malware feed updated?
Continuously. New threats are added and labeled every few minutes.
Can Aikido block malware before it’s merged into code?
Yes. Aikido integrates with your SCM and CI/CD to block PRs with known malware before they hit main. The IDE integration even protects developers from installing malware packages altogether.
Do I need to configure anything to enable malware detection?
No setup needed. Malware detection is included in all Pro plan scans by default.
Has Aikido ever found high-profile malware before others?
Yes. We were first to detect and disclose malware in xrpl, a crypto-related NPM package, which was later blocked globally.
