Open Source Go Vulnerability Scanners

CLI tool and library for generating a Software Bill of Materials from container images and filesystems. syft is a CLI tool and Go library for generating a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) from container images and filesystems. Exceptional for vulnerability detection when used with a scanner like Grype. Generates SBOMs for container images, filesystems, archives, and more to discover packages and libraries. Supports OCI, Docker and Singularity image formats. Linux distribution identification. Works seamlessly with Grype (a fast, modern vulnerability scanner). Able to create signed SBOM attestations using the in-toto specification. Convert between SBOM formats, such as CycloneDX, SPDX, and Syft's own format.

A vulnerability scanner for container images and filesystems. Easily install the binary to try it out. Works with Syft, the powerful SBOM (software bill of materials) tool for container images and filesystems. Scan the contents of a container image or filesystem to find known vulnerabilities. Find vulnerabilities for major operating system packages. Find vulnerabilities for language-specific packages. You can also choose another destination directory and release version for the installation. The destination directory doesn't need to be /usr/local/bin, it just needs to be a location found in the user's PATH and writable by the user that's installing Grype. If you're using GitHub Actions, you can simply use our Grype-based action to run vulnerability scans on your code or container images during your CI workflows.

tfsec is a static analysis security scanner for your Terraform code. Designed to run locally and in your CI pipelines, developer-friendly output and fully documented checks mean detection and remediation can take place as quickly and efficiently as possible. tfsec takes a developer-first approach to scanning your Terraform templates; using static analysis and deep integration with the official HCL parser it ensures that security issues can be detected before your infrastructure changes take effect. Checks for misconfigurations across all major (and some minor) cloud providers. Applies (and embellishes) user-defined Rego policies. Supports multiple output formats: CLI, JSON, SARIF, CSV, CheckStyle, and JUnit. Configurable (via CLI flags and/or config file). Very fast, capable of quickly scanning huge repositories. Plugins for popular IDEs available (JetBrains, VSCode and Vim).

Vuls is open-source, agent-less vulnerability scanner based on information from NVD, OVAL, etc. Vuls uses multiple vulnerability databases NVD, JVN, OVAL, RHSA/ALAS/ELSA/FreeBSD-SA and Changelog. Vuls v0.5.0 now possible to detect vulnerabilities that patches have not been published from distributors. Remote scan mode is required to only setup one machine that is connected to other scan target servers via SSH. If you don't want the central Vuls server to connect to each server by SSH, you can use Vuls in the Local Scan mode. Fast scan mode scans without root privilege, no internet access, almost no load on the scan target server. Deep scan mode scans in more detail. It is possible to acquire the state of the server executing some commands. Vuls v0.5.0 warns not-restarting-processes which updated before but not restarting yet. And detect processes affecting software update in advance.
