It would be great to hear of an answer to this question. I suspect there isn't one, though.
The trouble is, one of the first hurdles is to identify Go libraries that have CVEs against them. It is very easy to find CVEs for the Go standard library, but I cannot see any easy way to scan the vulnerability databases for vulnerable projects that happen to be implemented in Go. On top of that, for the purposes of dependency scanning, we really only need to care about those projects implemented in Go that have non-main packages. The main packages may have vulnerabilities, but those will never show up in a dependency scan... If one can identify that list, then the open source tool to find any dependent libraries that might have vulnerabilities would be pretty straightforward. Unfortunately, identifying that list is might be really hard. Currently probably only possible for companies that have a business model that supports paying people to investigate each and every one of the vulnerabilities that shows up with a CVE.... Maybe someone on this list can think of a great way to filter the CVE list.... Eric.
