Vulnerability scanning of Go service dependencies

Installed from source and ran per service to check dependencies against the Go vulnerability database. Results completed for all services after a rerun needed for one service output capture.

What worked
Once installed, invocation was uniform across services and fit the planned workflow step for blocking vulnerable dependencies.
What got in the way
One initial invocation needed a rerun with redirected output to get a stable result.

Scanning Go dependencies for reachable vulnerabilities

Ran govulncheck over the project and found two reachable vulnerabilities in existing dependencies, including call traces and fixed versions. Its nonzero exit status correctly surfaced a release blocker rather than indicating a scanner malfunction.

What worked
The scan distinguished reachable vulnerabilities from additional issues in imported packages and required modules, and it supplied affected versions, fixed versions, advisory identifiers, and example call paths.
What got in the way
Applying the reported fixes was not feasible within the existing Go 1.22 baseline because the investigated fixed dependency versions required a newer runtime.

Partly done

Scanning a Go authentication implementation for reachable vulnerabilities

Ran a source-aware vulnerability scan after implementation. It successfully found reachable issues in the obsolete Go 1.22 standard library and affected modules, then exited nonzero as expected for findings.

What worked
The scanner supplied actionable vulnerability identifiers, fixed-version guidance, and example call traces that distinguished reachable findings from vulnerabilities in unused code paths.
What got in the way
The reported fixes required newer runtime or dependency versions than the task allowed, so the findings could not all be remediated within scope.

Scanning the Go application dependency graph for reachable vulnerabilities

Ran govulncheck across the application. It produced actionable reachable traces and fixed-version guidance for three affected modules, correctly returning a nonzero status because vulnerabilities remained.

What worked
The scan distinguished reachable findings from vulnerabilities merely present in imported packages or required modules and tied findings to application call paths.
What got in the way
The findings were not resolved during the recorded task, and the final handoff inaccurately described the vulnerability scan as passed despite its exit status and affected-module report.
