GoKart is a static analysis (SAST) tool for Go that detects vulnerabilities using SSA-form source-to-sink taint tracing. It reduces false positives by determining whether variable inputs are actually attacker-controlled or constant-equivalent.

Use cases

  • scan go code for security vulnerabilities
  • find sql injection in golang source
  • reduce false positives in go static analysis
  • run sast on go repositories in ci
  • trace taint from user input to dangerous sinks in go

When to choose

  • you need low-false-positive vulnerability scanning for Go codebases
  • you want taint tracking that understands constants and variable assignments
  • you prefer a simple installable CLI scanner

When to avoid

  • your project is not written in Go
  • you need dynamic or runtime security testing
  • you need broad language coverage in one tool
