Automated Socket Supply Chain Risk Alerts
Every morning, WebRun opens Socket, reviews new supply chain findings across your repositories, posts a Telegram alert naming any dependency flagged for a risky behavior such as install scripts or network access, and texts the security lead when a finding is rated critical, so a risky package gets caught before it ships.
How do I catch a risky dependency before it ships to production?
WebRun reviews Socket's supply chain findings every morning, posting a Telegram alert for any new dependency flagged with a risky behavior like install scripts or unexpected network access. Findings rated critical also get a direct text to the security lead, so a genuinely dangerous package gets caught and escalated before it ships in a release.
- Risky dependencies get flagged before they ship instead of after an incident
- Critical findings reach the security lead directly by text
- The team gets a running record of every supply chain finding

WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will WebRun remove or block the risky dependency itself?
No. It only detects and reports the finding. Removing a dependency, blocking its install, or approving it as safe stays a decision for your security and engineering teams.
What counts as a risky behavior?
Whatever Socket itself flags, such as install scripts, unexpected network access, or obfuscated code, so the alert reflects Socket's own supply chain analysis.
Why text only for critical findings?
Critical findings need the fastest possible attention, so they get a direct text in addition to the Telegram alert every other finding also receives.
