A direct path to zero exploitable risk
Reachability tells you what needs fixing. Certified Patches fix it instantly with surgical, validated changes committed into your repo.
One command, done
Run a single CLI command after install, or let safe-npm/safe-pnpm apply patches automatically. No manifest file changes, no weird plugins.
Human-reviewed, AI-validated
Every patch is reviewed by domain experts (like TC39 delegates for npm) and validated against hundreds of AI-generated test cases to guarantee it won't break your build.
Audit everything
Patches are plain text and human-readable. Review exactly what's changing before you apply it.
Patch the CVEs that matter in three steps
Certified Patches fits into your existing workflow and fixes CVEs with minimal overhead.
Identify vulnerable packages
Socket’s Reachability Analysis identifies which CVEs are actually exploitable in your codebase.
- VulnerablePatched$ npx socket patch
Apply certified patches
Run one command to apply human-reviewed, AI-validated patches that surgically fix the vulnerability.

Commit and deploy
Patches live in your repo as plain text. Review, commit, and deploy with confidence.
Built for security teams and developers
Socket Certified Patches gives you the control and transparency you need to secure your dependencies without disrupting your workflow.
Own your patches forever
Patches get committed alongside your code. Keep them forever, even if you cancel Socket or we disappear. Zero vendor lock-in.
Update dependencies on your schedule
Stop being forced into risky upgrades just to fix a CVE in a transitive dependency. Patch it now, update when you're ready.
Protect legacy systems
Patch even unmaintained or abandoned packages where no upstream fix will ever be published.
Reduce operational risk
Keep your current dependency graph stable, with no version churn or unexpected regressions from 'just update it' workflows.
Stop malicious updates cold
Because patches apply in place, you avoid compromised upstream releases entirely.
No special infrastructure
Patches run locally during your build—no registry proxies, mirrors, or external services required.
