Kodi Addons are meant to help the users extend the functionality of their favorite media player app, fetch specific categories of content, or even metadata like album covers and subtitles.

Malicious actors are trying to scam and exploit whatever and whomever they can, and the Kodi ecosystem cannot be left out of this targeting. We have tapped this issue numerous times before, and we have given you direction on where to source safe and working Kodi addons from.
Now, researchers at Northwestern University partnered with engineers from the Brave Software to develop a new Kodi addon called “SafeKodi”, which will help the users identify malicious add-ons and remove them.

SafeKodi is publicly available for free so that everyone can use it to protect themselves. The researchers started by studying the Kodi addons that are available online by using a software crawler called “De-Kodi”.
As Matteo Varvello of the Brave Software team stated, they are now hoping that the project will be embraced by the Kodi community and that a network of reporters will be set up around it.

SafeKodi

SafeKodi is a Kodi addon which aims at informing Kodi users about potentially malicious addons installed on their devices. For example, SafeKodi is able to identify addons which might install malware or inject unwanted advertisement. SafeKodi further provides the users with the quick option to disable addons marked as unsafe.

SafeKodi leverages de-Kodi to constantly explore more addons. If an add-on is marked as "unknown" by SafeKodi, de-Kodi will attempt to automatically locate such addon on the Web and test it on demand.
