gosec vs Puma Scan

gosec is a free Go source-code security checker that analyzes abstract syntax trees and static single assignment representations. It applies pattern rules, SSA analyzers, and taint analysis to detect issues including injection, path traversal, SSRF, unsafe deserialization, cryptography and TLS problems, blocklisted imports, and Go-specific risks. Findings map to Common Weakness Enumeration entries. Users can select or exclude rules, define path-based exclusions, and change settings such as audit mode. Reports are available as text, JSON, YAML, CSV, JUnit XML, HTML, SonarQube, golint, and SARIF. The project documents GitHub Actions and SARIF uploads to GitHub code scanning; its goanalysis package supports tools such as Bazel nogo. Local installation requires Go 1.25 or newer, with dependencies loaded through Go modules. An optional AI feature suggests fixes through Atlas Cloud, Gemini, Claude, OpenAI, or custom OpenAI-compatible APIs. Automated detection can produce false positives, which annotations can suppress. It is licensed under Apache License 2.0.

Puma Scan is a static application security testing tool for C# code in Visual Studio. Its End User Edition scans code as developers write and reports vulnerabilities as compiler warnings before a commit. The extension supports C# in.NET Framework and.NET Core, including Web Forms and MVC; legacy website projects are unsupported. The product page says it also scans AI-generated code from GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, Amazon Q and Gemini Code Assist. For automated scanning, listed integrations include GitHub Actions, GitLab CI and Azure DevOps. CI editions can enforce configurable vulnerability severity thresholds and stop builds when requirements are not met. The Server Edition supports command-line scans, on-premises Azure DevOps build tasks and exports in HTML, JSON, MSBuild, VSO, VSTest and CSV formats. Community is free. End User costs $299 a year; Server is $4,999 a year, Cloud CI Standard $5,999 a year and Cloud CI Unlimited $10,999 a year. Trials last 30 days, require no credit card and do not include reporting. Community analyzers run locally and do not contact Puma Scan servers for rule updates.
