Open Source Go Static Code Analysis Tools

GoKart is a static analysis tool for Go that finds vulnerabilities using the SSA (single static assignment) form of Go source code. It is capable of tracing the source of variables and function arguments to determine whether input sources are safe, which reduces the number of false positives compared to other Go security scanners. For instance, a SQL query that is concatenated with a variable might traditionally be flagged as SQL injection; however, GoKart can figure out if the variable is actually a constant or constant equivalent, in which case there is no vulnerability. GoKart also helps to power Chariot, Praetorian's security platform that helps you find, manage, and fix vulnerabilities in your source code and cloud environments. Chariot makes it simple to run automated, continuous GoKart scans on your source code. If you want to try GoKart, you can set up a free Chariot account in minutes.

A project devoted to secure programming in the Go language. Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"). You may not use this file except in compliance with the License. You can integrate third-party code analysis tools with GitHub code scanning by uploading data as SARIF files. The workflow shows an example of running the gosec as a step in a GitHub action workflow that outputs the results.sarif file. The workflow then uploads the results.sarif file to GitHub using the upload-serif action. Gosec can be configured to only run a subset of rules, to exclude certain file paths, and produce reports in different formats. By default, all rules will be run against the supplied input files.

Kubernetes object analysis with recommendations for improved reliability and security. kube-score is a tool that does static code analysis of your Kubernetes object definitions. The output is a list of recommendations of what you can improve to make your application more secure and resilient. kube-score is open-source and available under the MIT-license. Container limits (should be set) Pod is targeted by a NetworkPolicy, both egress and ingress rules are recommended. Deployments and StatefulSets should have a PodDisruptionPolicy. Deployments and StatefulSets should have host PodAntiAffinity configured. For container probes, a readiness should be configured, and should not be identical to the liveness probe. Read more in README_PROBES.md. Container securityContext, run as a high number user/group, do not run as root or with privileged root fs. Read more in README_SECURITYCONTEXT.md. Stable APIs, use a stable API if available (supported: Deployments, StatefulSets, DaemonSet)

I’d like to introduce reviewdog! An automated code review tool working with any lint tools and supports local run as well. “reviewdog” provides a way to post review comments to code hosting services, such as GitHub, automatically by integrating with any linter tools with ease. It uses any output of lint tools, with translation if required, and posts them as a comment if the file and line are in diff of patches to review. reviewdog also supports running in a local environment to filter the output of lint tools by diff. We can use various linters and static code analysis tools to detect such problems in local machines, editors, CI services. However, here is the problem. Static analysis tools may report false-positive results. Reporting false-positive results itself is ok, but due to the false-positive results we cannot make build fail and it becomes difficult for us to find true positive results from messed up analysis results.

Fast, configurable, extensible, flexible, and beautiful linter for Go. Drop-in replacement of golint. Revive provides a framework for the development of custom rules, and lets you define a strict preset for enhancing your development & code review processes. Fast & extensible static code analysis framework for Go. Allows us to enable or disable rules using a configuration file. Allows us to configure the linting rules with a TOML file. 2x faster running the same rules as golint. Provides functionality for disabling a specific rule or the entire linter for a file or a range of lines. golint allows this only for generated files. Optional type checking. Most rules in golint do not require type-checking. If you disable them in the config file, revive will run over 6x faster than golint. Provides multiple formats which let us customize the output. Allows us to customize the return code for the entire linter or based on the failure of only some rules.
