I am (am worried) and recently stopped adding extensions by just the random anon. Also I take time to sanitise foreign (to my knowledge) gh repos using Claude code.
As an aside, claude and codex (and probably gemini) are pretty good at doing that. I've now done it with several repos and they are pretty good at finding stuff. In one case codex found an obscure way to reach around the authentication in one of our services. This is a great use case for LLMs IMHO
They are (of course) not foolproof and very well may miss something, so people need to evaluate their own risk/reward tradeoff with these extensions, even after reviewing them with AI, but I think they are pretty useful.
