vulnfix

README

vulnfix consumes govulncheck -json output and applies dependency fixes to a Go module.

It is designed for a simple workflow:

1. run govulncheck -json
2. pipe the output to vulnfix
3. let vulnfix update vulnerable modules and tidy the module graph

Install

go install github.com/hamba/vulnfix@latest

Usage

govulncheck -json ./... | vulnfix

Run in a different module directory:

govulncheck -json ./... | vulnfix -C /path/to/module

You can also apply fixes from a saved report:

vulnfix < govulncheck-report.json

Optionally write a Markdown CVE report:

govulncheck -json ./... | vulnfix -o report.md

How It Works

vulnfix parses the govulncheck -json output and collects the minimum fixed version for each vulnerable module. It then runs go get <module>@<version> for each affected dependency and follows up with go mod tidy to keep the module graph clean.

Special pseudo-modules are handled automatically:

Module	Action
stdlib	Updates the go directive via go get go@<version>
toolchain	Updates the toolchain directive via go get toolchain@<version>
everything else	Regular go get <module>@<version>
