Security testing for Go applications and APIs.

Go is popular for high-performance APIs and cloud infrastructure. Its safety reduces some memory risks, but SSRF, injection, template injection, and authorization flaws remain firmly in scope.

Common Go pitfalls

SSRF from HTTP clients, SQL injection via string-built queries, template injection with text/html templates misused, and authorization gaps in handlers are the recurring risks.

Cloud-native surface

Go services often sit close to cloud infrastructure, making SSRF-to-metadata a particularly high-value path to test.

FAQ

Is Go memory-safe enough to skip security testing?

No. Go avoids many memory bugs, but application-layer risks - SSRF, injection, template misuse, and broken authorization - are unaffected by memory safety and still require thorough testing.

Impactr finds and proves whether flaws like this are actually reachable in your own web apps and APIs, with a reproducible exploit as evidence.
