Free Business Plan Upgrades for Open Source Maintainers
Blog post from Socket
Socket has expanded its open source program by offering eligible public projects under OSI-approved licenses a free Business plan, replacing the free Team plan upgrade available since 2024. The announcement follows recent supply-chain attacks involving compromised maintainer accounts, stolen npm tokens, malware distributed through widely used packages, social-engineering campaigns targeting Node.js maintainers, and emerging AI-assisted attacks designed to gain trust or induce malicious merges. The Business plan includes dependency blocking across more than 80 risk categories, reachability analysis, scanning for GitHub Actions and AI models, SBOM exports, SSO/SAML, webhook automation, and unlimited members and repository labels. Maintainers can receive the upgrade by creating a free Socket account and emailing support with their GitHub organization name, while existing program participants can request migration from Team to Business.
