...Rather than detecting vulnerabilities, Capslock focuses on identifying capabilities — permissions implied by calls to sensitive or privileged standard library functions, such as file system access, networking, or process control. By following transitive call graphs, it classifies which security-sensitive operations each package can reach, giving developers visibility into what their dependencies are capable of doing. This helps apply the Principle of Least Privilege to Go software, guiding audits, supply chain reviews, and trust assessments. Capslock aims to make security posture analysis more proactive by surfacing capability-based risk signals before malicious or overly powerful code is introduced into production.
