To scan Go code for security vulnerabilities, run a security scan on your Go project directory to identify unsafe pointer usage, goroutine leaks, and crypto mistakes, generating a remediation report aligned with the Go Security Checklist.

Common Go security mistakes to check during code reviews include unsafe pointer usage, CGO boundary issues, goroutine leaks, race conditions, and common crypto mistakes that generic scanners often miss.

This Go security scanner works for microservices and libraries of varying sizes. It is suitable for integration into CI pipelines, code reviews, and security audits of native Go codebases.

You can use static analysis to find goroutine leaks and race conditions in Go. This scanner detects language-idiomatic risks and unsafe patterns, providing threat modeling and remediation guidance for faster fixes.

The best way to integrate Go security checks into a CI pipeline is to run an automated security scan on the Go project directory, which identifies anti-patterns and outputs a remediation report aligned with the Go Security Checklist.

Generic static analysis tools miss Go-specific security vulnerabilities because they lack awareness of language-idiomatic risks like unsafe pointer usage, CGO boundaries, and goroutine leaks, making Go-specific security checks necessary.
