VulneXtra brings context-aware, AI-powered vulnerability detection straight into VS Code. The innovation isn't the model, it's the architecture: VulneXtra enriches your code with business logic, control flow, and cross-file context so any AI model (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Mistral, DeepSeek, and others) detects logic errors and cross-file flaws that traditional scanners miss, even with the cheaper models.
- 60% less scanning cost
- 2x more vulnerability types detected
- 0 vendor lock-in
🚀 Capabilities
