govulncheck
Govulncheck reports known vulnerabilities that affect Go code. It uses static analysis of source code or a binary's symbol table to narrow down reports to only those that could affect the application. By default, govulncheck makes requests to the Go vulnerability database at https://vuln.go.dev. Requests to the vulnerability database contain only module paths, not code or other properties of your program.
staticcheck
Go static analysis that specialises in finding bugs, simplifying code and improving performance.
structslop
Static analyzer for Go that recommends struct field rearrangements to provide for maximum space/allocation efficiency
