Open VSX Unblocks Extension IDs Used in Malware Campaign
Open VSX has removed three extension IDs from its malicious-extension list as the legitimate publishers they impersonated move to claim the names for themselves.
Shared library for packet envelopes, schema contracts, and error packet normalization across the Forest tool ecosystem
Attepack is a shared library of packet envelope primitives, schema contracts, and error packet normalization routines for tool ecosystems.
Across a tool ecosystem, public tools such as Remogram, Skillpress, and ReleasePress exchange structured JSON packets (e.g. remogram.forge_facts.v1, skillpress.capability_manifest.v1, release.evidence_manifest.v1, consumer.audit_view_model.v1). Attepack standardizes these packet envelopes and error structures to eliminate duplicate parsing and prevent schema drift.
| Module | Purpose |
|---|---|
attepack | Primary entrypoint exporting envelope validation and error packet constructors |
attepack/envelope | Enforces packet envelope validation (type, schema_version, observed_at, ok) |
attepack/evidence-protocol | Validates neutral producer-native evidence packet conformance without product-specific schemas |
npm install attepack
import { validatePacketEnvelope, buildErrorPacket } from 'attepack';
const envelope = validatePacketEnvelope({
type: 'attepack.sample.v1',
schema_version: 1,
observed_at: new Date().toISOString(),
ok: true
});
Producer tools should validate their own native packets against the neutral evidence protocol instead of importing downstream product schemas or goldens. Downstream products may consume, compose, archive, report, and evaluate policy over those packets; they are not the protocol owner.
import { validateNeutralEvidencePacket } from 'attepack/evidence-protocol';
validateNeutralEvidencePacket({
type: 'remogram.forge_facts.v1',
schema_version: 1,
ok: true,
authority_role: 'authoritative'
});
Attepack rejects legacy producer-section fields by default. To reject coupling
to a downstream product namespace, pass forbiddenProductNamespaces.

Shared library for packet envelopes, schema contracts, and error packet normalization across the Forest tool ecosystem
We found that attepack demonstrated a healthy version release cadence and project activity because the last version was released less than a year ago. It has 1 open source maintainer collaborating on the project.
