Previously, pathological inputs could close an unescaped '/' early, allowing for attack-controlled data to inject arbitrary content, potentially leading to XSS.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - Previously, pathological inputs could close an unescaped '/' early, allowing for attack-controlled data to
    inject arbitrary content, potentially leading to XSS. (CVE-2026-56858)

The version of Golang running on the remote host is 1.25.x prior to 1.25.13, or 1.26.x prior to 1.26.6. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities in the standard library and the toolchain, as referenced in the golang-announce advisory.

  - The ToASCII and ToUnicode functions incorrectly accepted Punycode-encoded labels that decode to an     ASCII-only label. This can lead to privilege escalation in programs using the idna package.
    (CVE-2026-39821)

  - Parsing an invalid SVCB or HTTPS RR can panic when the size of a parameter value overflows the     message buffer in golang.org/x/net/dns/dnsmessage. (CVE-2026-46600)

  - When a server is configured to support unencrypted HTTP/2, it reads bytes from each new connection     to check for the HTTP/2 client preface. Previously this was done with no timeout. ReadHeaderTimeout     is now applied for this check. (CVE-2026-56853)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Previously, pathological inputs could close an unescaped '/' early, allowing for attack-controlled data to     inject arbitrary content, potentially leading to XSS. (CVE-2026-56858)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
