Container: Improved scanning for stripped and CGo Go binaries

Improved

We have updated Snyk Container to support scanning for stripped Go binaries and those built using CGo. We have enhanced the scanner to use module-level analysis via .go.buildinfo, allowing Snyk to accurately identify dependencies even when debug information is removed or C libraries are used.

Historically, stripped binaries and CGo builds made it difficult for scanners to accurately parse dependencies, potentially leaving vulnerabilities undetectable. This update closes that visibility gap.

Users scanning Go containers may now see new vulnerabilities that were previously hidden due to the limitations of scanning these specific binary types. This ensures more complete security coverage for Go applications.

This improvement is available in Snyk CLI v1.1302.0 (preview and stable releases). Update your CLI to the latest version to ensure your Go container artifacts are fully covered.
