Open-source supply chain attacks have increasingly taken the form of coordinated campaigns rather than isolated malicious packages. These operations often unfold over weeks or months, compromising multiple packages and repositories as they evolve. For enterprise security teams, this creates a practical challenge: determining quickly whether a newly disclosed campaign affects their environment and how exposure may change over time.

Socket has introduced a new Threat Intel page in its dashboard to address this gap, anchored by a Campaigns view that tracks active supply chain attack campaigns as ongoing entities. The view lists current campaigns and clearly indicates whether an organization is safe or impacted, providing an immediate answer to the first operational question teams face when a new attack emerges.

When a campaign affects an organization, the dashboard shows which repositories and packages are involved. Selecting a campaign opens a detail page with contextual analysis from Socket’s internal threat intelligence team, along with direct links to impacted repositories. Campaigns are continuously updated as new packages are attributed to the same operation, and an organization’s impact status adjusts automatically as its dependency graph changes.

Campaign context is also surfaced directly at the package level. Packages linked to active campaigns display a prominent warning banner on their detail pages, identifying the campaign and affected versions. This distinguishes packages compromised as part of a broader operation from those that are malicious in isolation, while preserving access to existing signals such as version history, dependency relationships, vulnerability data, and licensing information.

The Threat Intel page is designed to support rapid investigation and response. Teams can filter campaigns by ecosystem, review affected packages with publication and detection timelines, navigate directly into remediation workflows, and export data for reporting or analysis. By grouping related activity under campaigns, the approach reduces alert noise and helps prioritize action based on confirmed exposure.

Campaign tracking is available now for all users and represents the first phase of a broader threat intelligence capability. Future expansions are expected to include attacker behaviors, infrastructure indicators, and API access, reflecting a shift toward understanding how supply chain threats evolve, not just when they are detected.
