Find and fix risk in every open source dependency
Socket SCA inventories the open source packages in every repository, flags known vulnerabilities, malicious packages, and license problems, and enforces your policy before risky code merges.

Vulnerabilities, malware, and license risk in one scan
Socket goes beyond matching dependencies against CVE databases. It analyzes the code inside each package to catch malicious packages and supply chain attacks, including zero-day threats. Socket Reports charts vulnerability, license, and package score data across your whole organization or for a single repository.
Known vulnerabilities
Match every dependency against CVE data, and use reachability analysis to see which vulnerable code your application actually calls.
Malicious packages
Detect malware, risky install scripts, obfuscated code, and other supply chain attack signals before a package reaches your codebase.
License compliance
Identify more than 2,000 license types, check licenses before a dependency merges, and trace violations to their source.
Reports
Chart vulnerabilities by Top 25 CWEs and Top 10 OWASP categories, see license distribution, and track package scores, including supply chain risk. Export any chart for security reviews.
How it works
Socket scans dependencies where your team already works and applies your policy to every change.
Connect your repositories
Install Socket for GitHub or run the Socket CLI in CI to scan manifests and lockfiles.
Scan every dependency
Socket analyzes direct and transitive dependencies and raises alerts for vulnerabilities, malicious behavior, and license risk.
- WarnMonitorBlock
Enforce your policy
Each alert is blocked, warned on, or monitored based on your organization’s security and license policies.
Built for security and engineering teams
Socket SCA gives security and engineering teams one view of dependency risk across every repository, with policy enforcement and fixes built in.
Dependency inventory
See every direct and transitive dependency across your repositories and ecosystems.
SBOMs
Generate SBOMs for your applications, and import existing SBOMs to analyze their components.
Reachability analysis
Prioritize vulnerabilities in code your application calls.
Certified Patches
Fix vulnerabilities with patches for the versions you already use.
Pre-merge license enforcement
A configurable license policy flags dependencies that violate your licensing terms in the pull request, before they merge.
Low-noise alerts in the dev workflow
Alerts appear in pull request comments, the CLI, and the dashboard, with suggested next steps for each finding.
Track dependency risk across every repository
See alerts from every repository in one view, follow how risk changes over time, and drill into any repository. Export charts for security reviews and stakeholder updates.
Organization alert trends
See alerts from the default branch of every repository, grouped by severity, and follow trends, triage volume, and overall risk posture over time.
Repository view
See open alerts for each repository grouped by action, priority, or severity. Use labels to organize repositories by team or function and apply policies to each group.
One scanner for every language your team writes
Secure your team's dependencies across your stack with Socket. Stop supply chain attacks before they reach production.

Security leaders love Socket
See how we've helped top companies protect their teams from supply chain attacks.
Socket gave us less noise and more signal with its ability to be rolled out in a phased approach."
[Socket] certainly speeds up the process of adding a new dependency and we have the confidence that it's safe in our infrastructure and doesn't have any sort of 'secret agendas' code in there."
Socket’s real-time threat detection helps strengthen our security posture, even from zero-day supply chain attacks."
