The Erlang Ecosystem Foundation, in collaboration with Alpha-Omega, has completed the first comprehensive third-party security audit of the Hex.pm and its surrounding ecosystem. This work is part of the ongoing efforts to strengthen security across the BEAM ecosystem under the Ægis initiative.

Hex is critical infrastructure for the BEAM ecosystem. It underpins package distribution for Erlang, Elixir, and Gleam, and is used in production systems across thousands of organizations.
Across both audits, a number of issues were identified, ranging from high severity vulnerabilities to low-severity hardening gaps.

The team has already addressed several findings, and they continue to work on remediation to further enhance the security posture of Hex.pm and its related tools.

We encourage the community to explore the full results and next steps: [Read more](https://hex.pm/blog/security-audit "read more").
