Socket Security Analysis Is Now One Click Away on npm

Npm has enhanced its package pages by including more security information and a link to Socket's security analysis, which provides detailed insights into the safety of npm packages. While npm's pages offer basic information such as version history and download counts, Socket's package pages deliver a comprehensive assessment with security scores for Supply Chain Security, Vulnerability, Quality, Maintenance, and License. For instance, the React package scores high across these metrics, offering users a quick understanding of its safety. Socket also provides information on dependencies, maintainers, a full version history, a file explorer, and security alerts for potential risks like obfuscated code or new maintainer accounts. Users can compare similar packages side by side, and with the free Socket for GitHub app, they can continuously monitor dependency changes in pull requests.
