Integrate Socket with Vulnetix. Use the Socket API to retrieve supply chain risk alerts for your npm, PyPI, and Go dependencies, then upload findings to Vulnetix.
Run Socket in CI
Scan on every push and upload the report as a workflow artifact:
- name: Socket Supply Chain Check
uses: nicktindall/socket-action@v1
with:
socket_security_api_key: ${{ secrets.SOCKET_SECURITY_API_KEY }}
- name: Export Socket findings
env:
SOCKET_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SOCKET_SECURITY_API_KEY }}
SOCKET_ORG: ${{ secrets.SOCKET_ORG }}
run: |
curl -s "https://api.socket.dev/v0/orgs/$SOCKET_ORG/report" -H "Authorization: Bearer $SOCKET_TOKEN" | jq '.' > socket-report.json
- name: Upload to Vulnetix
run: vulnetix upload --file socket-report.json
How Vulnetix compares: better together
Vulnetix does not replace Socket. Keep running it. Vulnetix sits on top of Socket (and every other scanner you already own) turning disconnected tool outputs into one prioritised, fixable queue.
Socket is strongest at its core category and also carries features in malware, Secret Scanning, just as Vulnetix spans categories.
| Capability | Vulnetix | Socket |
|---|---|---|
| Security coverage | ||
| SAST (static code analysis) | ✓ Built-in rules + Semgrep augmentation | ✗ |
| SCA / dependencies | ✓ 40+ ecosystems, transitive graph | ✓ Dependency + behavioural package analysis |
| DAST (dynamic testing) | ~ Ingests DAST results; no native dynamic engine | ✗ |
| Container & image | ✓ Image CVEs, base image, Dockerfile | ✗ |
| IaC / misconfiguration | ✓ Terraform, k8s, CloudFormation | ✗ |
| Secret scanning | ✓ 1,000+ rules, source + binary + git history | ~ Detects some exposed secrets in packages |

What Socket does well
- Best-in-class behavioural / AI analysis of package risk: install scripts, obfuscation, network and filesystem access.
- Smooth GitHub-native developer experience with PR-level warnings on new dependencies.
- Fast-moving coverage of npm and PyPI supply-chain threats.
Where Vulnetix adds to it: Vulnetix turns Socket’s detection into enforceable install-time policy across 25+ registries and gates on CVSS/EPSS/CISA KEV/EOL, then deduplicates with every other scanner and remediates via Safe Harbour autofix instead of only alerting.
No migration, no rip-and-replace. Socket keeps doing what it does best; Vulnetix adds the orchestration, exploit-intelligence prioritisation and remediation layer built for the way AppSec works today.
Centralise Socket results in Vulnetix
Upload Socket JSON, SARIF output to the Vulnetix platform to deduplicate findings, prioritise them with EPSS, CISA KEV and Coalition ESS exploit intelligence, and track remediation across every scanner in a single queue.
