The version of golang installed on the remote host is prior to 1.24.6-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2025-2984 advisory.

    os/exec: LookPath may return unexpected paths. If the PATH environment variable contains paths which are     executables (rather than just directories), passing certain strings to LookPath (, ., and ..), can     result in the binaries listed in the PATH being unexpectedly returned. (CVE-2025-47906)

    Cancelling a query (e.g. by cancelling the context passed to one of the query methods) during a call to     the Scan method of the returned Rows can result in unexpected results if other queries are being made in     parallel. This can result in a race condition that may overwrite the expected results with those of     another query, causing the call to Scan to return either unexpected results from the other query or an     error. (CVE-2025-47907)
