Use Semgrep as a universal linter to identify vulnerabilities in your code base with the gosec (https://github.com/securego/gosec) rule pack.

semgrepThe package `net/http/cgi` is on the import blocklist. The package is vulnerable to httpoxy attacks (CVE-2015-5386). It is recommended to use `net/http` or a web framework to build a web application instead.
semgrepDetected a possible denial-of-service via a zip bomb attack. By limiting the max bytes read, you can mitigate this attack. `io.CopyN()` can specify a size. Refer to https://bomb.codes/ to learn more about this attack and other ways to mitigate it.
semgrepFile traversal when extracting zip archive
semgrepDisabled host key verification detected. This allows man-in-the-middle attacks. Use the 'golang.org/x/crypto/ssh/knownhosts' package to do host key verification. See https://skarlso.github.io/2019/02/17/go-ssh-with-host-key-verification/ to learn more about the problem and how to fix it.
semgrepSSLv3 is insecure because it has known vulnerabilities. Starting with go1.14, SSLv3 will be removed. Instead, use 'tls.VersionTLS13'.
semgrepDetected an insecure CipherSuite via the 'tls' module. This suite is considered weak. Use the function 'tls.CipherSuites()' to get a list of good cipher suites. See https://golang.org/pkg/crypto/tls/#InsecureCipherSuites for why and what other cipher suites to use.
semgrepDetected DES cipher algorithm which is insecure. The algorithm is considered weak and has been deprecated. Use AES instead.
semgrepDetected MD5 hash algorithm which is considered insecure. MD5 is not collision resistant and is therefore not suitable as a cryptographic signature. Use SHA256 or SHA3 instead.
semgrepDetected RC4 cipher algorithm which is insecure. The algorithm has many known vulnerabilities. Use AES instead.
semgrepDetected SHA1 hash algorithm which is considered insecure. SHA1 is not collision resistant and is therefore not suitable as a cryptographic signature. Use SHA256 or SHA3 instead.
semgrepFound an HTTP server without TLS. Use 'http.ListenAndServeTLS' instead. See https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/#ListenAndServeTLS for more information.
semgrepDetected a potentially dynamic ClientTrace. This occurred because semgrep could not find a static definition for '$TRACE'. Dynamic ClientTraces are dangerous because they deserialize function code to run when certain Request events occur, which could lead to code being run without your knowledge. Ensure that your ClientTrace is statically defined.
semgrepString-formatted SQL query detected. This could lead to SQL injection if the string is not sanitized properly. Audit this call to ensure the SQL is not manipulable by external data.
semgrepFound a formatted template string passed to 'template.HTML()'. 'template.HTML()' does not escape contents. Be absolutely sure there is no user-controlled data in this template. If user data can reach this template, you may have a XSS vulnerability.
semgrepDo not use `math/rand`. Use `crypto/rand` instead.
semgrepDetected a network listener listening on 0.0.0.0 or an empty string. This could unexpectedly expose the server publicly as it binds to all available interfaces. Instead, specify another IP address that is not 0.0.0.0 nor the empty string.
semgrepFile creation in shared tmp directory without using ioutil.Tempfile
semgrepFound a formatted template string passed to 'template. HTMLAttr()'. 'template.HTMLAttr()' does not escape contents. Be absolutely sure there is no user-controlled data in this template or validate and sanitize the data before passing it into the template.
semgrepFound a formatted template string passed to 'template.JS()'. 'template.JS()' does not escape contents. Be absolutely sure there is no user-controlled data in this template.
semgrepFound a formatted template string passed to 'template.URL()'. 'template.URL()' does not escape contents, and this could result in XSS (cross-site scripting) and therefore confidential data being stolen. Sanitize data coming into this function or make sure that no user-controlled input is coming into the function.
semgrepUsing the unsafe package in Go gives you low-level memory management and many of the strengths of the C language, but also steps around the type safety of Go and can lead to buffer overflows and possible arbitrary code execution by an attacker. Only use this package if you absolutely know what you're doing.
semgrep`MinVersion` is missing from this TLS configuration. By default, TLS 1.2 is currently used as the minimum when acting as a client, and TLS 1.0 when acting as a server. General purpose web applications should default to TLS 1.3 with all other protocols disabled. Only where it is known that a web server must support legacy clients with unsupported an insecure browsers (such as Internet Explorer 10), it may be necessary to enable TLS 1.0 to provide support. Add `MinVersion: tls.VersionTLS13' to the TLS configuration to bump the minimum version to TLS 1.3.
semgrepIf an attacker can supply values that the application then uses to determine which method or field to invoke, the potential exists for the attacker to create control flow paths through the application that were not intended by the application developers. This attack vector may allow the attacker to bypass authentication or access control checks or otherwise cause the application to behave in an unexpected manner.
