Socket is a security platform for finding and blocking vulnerable or malicious software dependencies. Its GitHub App scans dependency changes in pull requests and gives feedback before a merge; Socket Firewall intercepts package-manager requests to stop malicious direct or transitive dependencies before installation. The free Firewall supports JavaScript and TypeScript package managers, Python pip and uv, and Rust cargo. Reachability analysis uses full application analysis and can eliminate up to 90% of irrelevant CVEs. The platform supports JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Go, Java, Ruby,.NET, Scala, Kotlin, Rust, PHP, Swift, C/C++, Julia, Dart, Elixir/Erlang, and GitHub Actions. It offers a REST API, JavaScript SDK, SBOM generation, and integrations including AWS CodePipeline, Azure Pipelines, Bitbucket Pipelines, CircleCI, Jenkins, Vanta, and Drata. Socket says it analyzes dependency manifests and lockfiles, not source code. It is available through cloud deployment, web, API, extension, Linux, macOS, Windows, and self-hosted options. Open-source projects can use it free. The Free plan includes 1,000 scans per month; Team is $25 a month per developer, with a five-developer minimum.
