Rust Support Now in Beta

Socket has advanced its support for Rust from Experimental to Beta, enabling all users to scan Cargo projects, including Cargo.toml-only crates, and generate Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs) with Rust-specific supply chain checks. This development has been validated with enterprise clients over several months and is now ready for broader beta testing. The new features include full dependency analysis, support for single crates, and full Cargo workspaces, while also allowing SBOM generation even in the absence of a lockfile. However, dependencies using Git or local paths are not yet supported and will appear as unresolved. The platform is particularly useful for JavaScript teams using Rust-powered tools and can analyze open source dependencies for supply chain risks by reading Cargo metadata, mapping dependency graphs, and identifying risks like hidden telemetry and unsafe usage patterns. While scanning Cargo.toml-only is possible, having a Cargo.lock file is recommended for deterministic results. Users can review findings within the app, export results as SPDX or CycloneDX SBOMs, and set policies aligning with their organization's risk tolerance. As Socket continues to refine its Rust-specific detectors, it invites users to test the Beta and provide feedback to support its transition to general availability.
