Detecting Vulnerabilities in Go with gosec

En los laboratorios analizamos el código de una aplicación con SonarCloud, Snyk y Semgrep. En este ejercicio el punto de mira es el mismo código fuente, pero con una herramienta que no usamos en los labs: gosec , el analizador estático estándar del ecosistema de Go, que publica reglas mapeadas a CWE de la OWASP. Para demostrar que la herramienta funciona de verdad, la aplicamos a una aplicación…

Translated from Spanish Read in Spanish

Researchers analyzed the code of an application using the static analyzer tool gosec, which is standard in the Go ecosystem and maps rules to CWE from OWASP. The application was intentionally written with common flaws, and gosec identified 17 findings, five of which were of high severity. The tool analyzes code for patterns known to be hazardous, such as hardcoded credentials, SQL injection, and weak hash algorithms.

The results can be integrated into automation pipelines and include CWE identifiers, allowing for prioritization based on regulatory requirements.

MCP Servers Had a Rough 48 Hours: 4 Unauthenticated CVEs

Between Monday morning and Tuesday night this week, four Model Context Protocol servers published CVE records for the same basic failure: every tool they expose is reachable with no authentication.
