Description

Hello,

We are leveraging the OWASP DependencyCheck utility (through its maven plugin) to detect vulnerabilities in our project's dependencies and sucessfully covered Java & Node related code.

As we plan to leverage **Go language** for additional components/modules, we are looking at a convenient way to extend the vulnerability analysis on such modules. Our first attempt consisted in leveraging experimental Golang analyzer that proves introducing a significant amounf of false positives/negatives.

On the other hand we saw that the Go ecosystem comes with a tailored solution (see https://go.dev/doc/security/vuln) which relies on a curated database aimed at avoiding such false positives/negatives.

Do you have any plans to integrate with the Go based analysis in the future (eg : something similar to Node Audit Analyzer that relies on node ecosystem to collect vulerabilities.

Kind regards
