medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 437845

Description

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

- filippo.io/edwards25519 is a Go library implementing the edwards25519 elliptic curve with APIs for
building cryptographic primitives. In versions 1.1.0 and earlier, MultiScalarMult produces invalid results
or undefined behavior if the receiver is not the identity point. If (*Point).MultiScalarMult is called on
an initialized point that is not the identity point, it returns an incorrect result. If the method is
called on an uninitialized point, the behavior is undefined. In particular, if the receiver is the zero
value, MultiScalarMult returns an invalid point that compares Equal to every other point. Note that
MultiScalarMult is a rarely used, advanced API. For example, users who depend on filippo.io/edwards25519
only through github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql are not affected. This issue has been fixed in version 1.1.1.
