SCA: security update for github.com/beego/beego/v2 (GHSA-2j42-h78h-q4fg)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 423586

Description

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

 - Beego is an open-source web framework for the Go programming language. Prior to 2.3.6, a Cross-Site
 Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in Beego's RenderForm() function due to improper HTML escaping of
 user-controlled data. This vulnerability allows attackers to inject malicious JavaScript code that
 executes in victims' browsers, potentially leading to session hijacking, credential theft, or account
 takeover. The vulnerability affects any application using Beego's RenderForm() function with user-provided
 data. Since it is a high-level function generating an entire form markup, many developers would assume it
 automatically escapes attributes (the way most frameworks do). This vulnerability is fixed in 2.3.6.
 (CVE-2025-30223)
