internal/scan: improve error message for govulncheck - Previously, an error was not returned if the govulncheck function was called without any patterns. - Now if patterns are not included, then an explicit error is returned indicating to users that they should specify patterns or simply use `govulncheck ./...`. Fixes golang/go#77167 Change-Id: I539246a6f18b50937068ce9c984d0d3e4973c534 Reviewed-on: https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/vuln/+/736180 Reviewed-by: Roland Shoemaker <roland@golang.org> Auto-Submit: Ethan Lee <ethanalee@google.com> LUCI-TryBot-Result: Go LUCI <golang-scoped@luci-project-accounts.iam.gserviceaccount.com>
Go's support for vulnerability management includes tooling for analyzing your codebase and binaries to surface known vulnerabilities in your dependencies. This tooling is backed by the Go vulnerability database, which is curated by the Go security team. Go’s tooling reduces noise in your results by only surfacing vulnerabilities in functions that your code is actually calling.
You can install the latest version of govulncheck using go install
go install golang.org/x/vuln/cmd/govulncheck@latest
Then, run govulncheck inside your module:
govulncheck ./...
See the govulncheck tutorial to get started, and https://go.dev/security/vuln for more information about Go's support for vulnerability management. The API documentation can be found at https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/vuln/scan.
