SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Go projects often ship with security vulnerabilities due to lack of automated analysis. GoSec provides fast static analysis to identify common security issues in Go code, helping teams reduce risk early in the development lifecycle.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Static analysis for Go code to uncover vulnerabilities such as SQL injection and unsafe commands.
  • CI-friendly reporting with clear findings and guidance to remediate.
  • Suitable for local development and automated security gates in pipelines.

Quick Start

Run gosec on your Go project to detect security vulnerabilities immediately.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find security vulnerabilities in my Go codebase?▼

Static analysis identifies Go security vulnerabilities by scanning your codebase for issues like SQL injection and unsafe command execution. It reviews Go code to find common security flaws early in the development lifecycle.

Can I run static analysis for Go in my CI pipelines?▼

Yes, static analysis for Go is CI-friendly and suitable for automated security gates in pipelines. It provides clear findings and remediation guidance to catch security issues during continuous integration.

What do I need to scan my Go project for security issues?▼

To scan your Go project for security issues, you need the Go toolchain and the GoSec tool installed. The scanner defaults to the ./... path argument to analyze your entire Go project structure.

What kind of security risks does Go static analysis detect?▼

Go static analysis detects common security risks such as SQL injection and command execution vulnerabilities in your code. It uncovers these unsafe commands and code patterns to help reduce risk early.

Is GoSec suitable for scanning large Go projects?▼

GoSec is applicable to Go projects of all sizes, providing fast static analysis to identify security issues. Whether used in local development or CI pipelines, it scales to scan large codebases efficiently.
