gokart
A static analysis tool for Go that finds vulnerabilities using SSA form and source-to-sink tracing to reduce false positives.
What is gokart?
GoKart is a static analysis tool specifically for Go code that identifies security vulnerabilities like SQL injection by tracing the flow of data from sources to sinks. It uses Single Static Assignment (SSA) form to analyze variable assignments, which helps distinguish between actual vulnerabilities and false positives. The tool aims to provide accurate, actionable security findings to improve code safety.
Go developers, security engineers, and DevOps teams who need to integrate security scanning into their development workflow, especially those frustrated by high false positive rates in other static analysis tools.
Developers choose GoKart for its significantly lower false positive rate due to advanced source-to-sink tracing and SSA-based analysis, making security feedback more trustworthy and actionable. Its extensibility, support for remote repositories, and CI/CD integration options provide flexibility for diverse development environments.
