StepSecurity Adds AI Agent Plugin Inventories for Developer Devices and GitHub Repositories

· Original article ↗

Summary

StepSecurity added inventories for Claude Code and Codex plugins installed on developer machines and published or enabled in GitHub repositories, showing plugin sources, versions, components and distribution.

Key points

  • Dev Machine Guard inventories Claude Code and Codex plugins installed on developer machines, including their sources, versions, enablement, components and affected devices.
  • A separate GitHub inventory shows plugins published in organizational repositories and which repositories enable them for contributors.
  • The inventories distinguish manifest-declared plugin metadata from observed sources, helping teams investigate mismatches between declared authors or repositories and the actual publishing location.
  • StepSecurity says its device scan reads plugin records, manifests and declared components without running plugins, hooks, scripts or agent command-line tools, and makes no network requests.
  • The company says plugin metadata and definition hashes are reported while skill and command bodies, credentials and complete settings files remain on the device.
