Socket

Socket is for development and security teams that want to assess the risk of open-source dependencies before they enter or remain in a project. It analyzes direct and transitive packages in JavaScript, Python, Go, and other ecosystems, flagging known vulnerabilities, suspected malware, risky package behavior, and license concerns. Checks can also surface signals such as install scripts, obfuscated code, and access to sensitive system capabilities. Teams can use Socket’s GitHub integration to review dependency changes in pull requests and receive alerts before merging. A dashboard brings scan results and dependency details together across repositories; the CLI and API provide additional ways to run scans in development or CI workflows. Socket may suit teams that need visibility into third-party package risk and a way to incorporate dependency checks into their existing software development process.
