SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Go backends often suffer from security flaws that go undetected during development, leading to vulnerabilities in authentication, data handling, and deployment. This skill provides a structured Go security audit focusing on common pitfalls and language-specific patterns.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Go-specific Vulnerabilities: SQL Injection, Command Injection via os/exec, Path Traversal, Race Conditions, Error Handling issues, and crypto pitfalls.
  • Practical Examples: Includes secure vs insecure code patterns and recommended fixes for Go projects.
  • Use Case: When auditing a Go service, run this skill to identify insecure patterns and receive remediation guidance.

Quick Start

Run the Go security audit across your repository to surface actionable findings and secure coding recommendations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scan my Go backend code for security vulnerabilities?

To scan Go backend code for security vulnerabilities, run a static analysis audit across your repository to identify insecure patterns in SQL, os/exec, file paths, and crypto usage. The audit flags these weaknesses and provides secure coding recommendations.

What common security flaws affect Go backend services?

Common Go backend security flaws include SQL injection, command injection via os/exec, path traversal, race conditions, error handling issues, and crypto pitfalls. Static analysis targets these language-specific weaknesses to prevent vulnerabilities in authentication and data handling.

Can I get remediation examples for insecure Go code patterns?

Yes, you can get remediation examples for insecure Go code patterns. The static analysis flags vulnerable code and provides practical examples comparing secure versus insecure implementations alongside recommended fixes to correct the identified weaknesses.

Does this Go security audit check for race conditions and crypto pitfalls?

Yes, this Go security audit checks for race conditions and crypto pitfalls. It analyzes repository code for Go-specific concurrency issues and improper crypto usage, flagging these insecure patterns and providing recommended fixes to secure the backend service.

What is the best way to detect command injection vulnerabilities in Go projects?

The best way to detect command injection vulnerabilities in Go projects is by running a static analysis audit focused on os/exec usage. This identifies insecure patterns where external commands are executed and provides recommended fixes to secure the code.
