By default all rules will be run against the supplied input files. To recursively scan from the current directory you can supply './...' as the input argument. ### Selecting rules By default gosec will run all rules against the supplied file paths. It is however possible to select a subset of rules to run via the '-include=' flag, or to specify a set of rules to explicitly exclude using the '-exclude=' flag. ### Available rules - G101: Look for hard coded credentials - G102: Bind to all interfaces - G103: Audit the use of unsafe block - G104: Audit errors not checked - G105: Audit the use of math/big.Int.Exp - G106: Audit the use of ssh.InsecureIgnoreHostKey - G107: Url provided to HTTP request as taint input - G201: SQL query construction using format string - G202: SQL query construction using string concatenation - G203: Use of unescaped data in HTML templates - G204: Audit use of command execution - G301: Poor file permissions used when creating a directory - G302: Poor file permissions used with chmod - G303: Creating tempfile using a predictable path - G304: File path provided as taint input - G305: File traversal when extracting zip archive - G401: Detect the usage of DES, RC4, MD5 or SHA1 - G402: Look for bad TLS connection settings - G403: Ensure minimum RSA key length of 2048 bits - G404: Insecure random number source (rand) - G501: Import blacklist: crypto/md5 - G502: Import blacklist: crypto/des - G503: Import blacklist: crypto/rc4 - G504: Import blacklist: net/http/cgi - G505: Import blacklist: crypto/sha1 ```bash # Run a specific set of rules $ gosec -include=G101,G203,G401 ./... # Run everything except for rule G303 $ gosec -exclude=G303 ./... ``` ### Excluding files gosec will ignore dependencies in your vendor directory any files that are not considered build artifacts by the compiler (so test files). ### Annotating code As with all automated detection tools there will be cases of false positives. In cases where gosec reports a failure that has been manually verified as being safe it is possible to annotate the code with a '#nosec' comment. The annotation causes gosec to stop processing any further nodes within the AST so can apply to a whole block or more granularly to a single expression. ```go import "md5" // #nosec func main(){ /* #nosec */ if x > y { h := md5.New() // this will also be ignored } } ``` When a specific false positive has been identified and verified as safe, you may wish to suppress only that single rule (or a specific set of rules) within a section of code, while continuing to scan for other problems. To do this, you can list the rule(s) to be suppressed within the `#nosec` annotation, e.g: `/* #nosec G401 */` or `// #nosec G201 G202 G203 ` In some cases you may also want to revisit places where #nosec annotations have been used. To run the scanner and ignore any #nosec annotations you can do the following: ```bash gosec -nosec=true ./... ``` ### Build tags gosec is able to pass your [Go build tags](https://golang.org/pkg/go/build/) to the analyzer. They can be provided as a comma separated list as follows: ```bash gosec -tag debug,ignore ./... ``` ### Output formats gosec currently supports text, json, yaml, csv and JUnit XML output formats. By default results will be reported to stdout, but can also be written to an output file. The output format is controlled by the '-fmt' flag, and the output file is controlled by the '-out' flag as follows: ```bash # Write output in json format to results.json $ gosec -fmt=json -out=results.json *.go ``` ## Development ### Prerequisites Install dep according to the instructions here: https://github.com/golang/dep Install the latest version of golint: ```bash go get -u golang.org/x/lint/golint ``` ### Build ```bash make ``` ### Tests ```bash make test ``` ### Release Build Make sure you have installed the [goreleaser](https://github.com/goreleaser/goreleaser) tool and then you can release gosec as follows: ```bash git tag 1.0.0 export GITHUB_TOKEN= make release ``` The released version of the tool is available in the `dist` folder. The build information should be displayed in the usage text. ```bash ./dist/darwin_amd64/gosec -h gosec - Golang security checker gosec analyzes Go source code to look for common programming mistakes that can lead to security problems. VERSION: 1.0.0 GIT TAG: 1.0.0 BUILD DATE: 2018-04-27T12:41:38Z ``` Note that all released archives are also uploaded to GitHub. ### Docker image You can build the docker image as follows: ```bash make image ``` You can run the `gosec` tool in a container against your local Go project. You just have to mount the project in the `GOPATH` of the container: ```bash docker run -it -v $GOPATH/src/:/go/src/ securego/gosec ./... ``` ### Generate TLS rule The configuration of TLS rule can be generated from [Mozilla's TLS ciphers recommendation](https://statics.tls.security.mozilla.org/server-side-tls-conf.json). First you need to install the generator tool: ```bash go get github.com/securego/gosec/cmd/tlsconfig/... ``` You can invoke now the `go generate` in the root of the project: ```bash go generate ./... ``` This will generate the `rules/tls_config.go` file with will contain the current ciphers recommendation from Mozilla.
