Prevent malicious open source dependencies from infiltrating your apps.

Socket dramatically improves your open source security posture by detecting and blocking the attacks you don't expect – malware, install scripts, hidden code, typo-squatting, and more – which aren't caught by traditional vulnerability scanners.

  • Block malware – Block emerging malware threats
  • Block typo-squatting – Block malicious packages that differ in name by only a few characters
  • Detect hidden code – Detect obfuscated, minified, or hidden code
  • Detect privileged API usage – Report when a dependency update introduces new risky API usage – filesystem, network, child_process, eval()
  • Detect suspicious updates – Sudden inclusion of privileged APIs in patch or minor releases

Socket currently supports 70 detections in 5 categories: supply chain risk, quality, maintenance, known vulnerabilities, and license problems.
