What are the security considerations in Go programming?

Go Security Considerations: • Input validation and sanitization • SQL injection prevention • Cross-site scripting (XSS) protection • CSRF protection • Secure random number generation • Cryptographic best practices Secure coding practices: • Use parameterized queries • Validate all inputs • Escape output properly • Use HTTPS everywhere • Implement proper authentication • Rate limiting and DoS protection Crypto package usage: // Secure random token := make([]byte, 32) crypto/rand.Read(token) // Password hashing hash, _ := bcrypt.GenerateFromPassword([]byte(password), bcrypt.DefaultCost) // HMAC h := hmac.New(sha256.New, key) h.Write(data) signature := h.Sum(nil) Vulnerability prevention: • Keep dependencies updated • Use go mod tidy regularly • Scan for known vulnerabilities • Follow OWASP guidelines • Implement security headers • Use context for timeouts
