SCA: security update for github.com/patrickhener/goshs/v2 (GHSA-jrq5-hg6x-j6g3)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 440360

Description

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

 - goshs is a SimpleHTTPServer written in Go. From 2.0.0-beta.4 to 2.0.0-beta.5, goshs contains a cross-site
 request forgery issue in its state-changing HTTP GET routes. An external attacker can cause an already
 authenticated browser to trigger destructive actions such as ?delete and ?mkdir because goshs relies on
 HTTP basic auth alone and performs no CSRF, Origin, or Referer validation for those routes. This
 vulnerability is fixed in 2.0.0-beta.6. (CVE-2026-40883)

Solution

Update the github.com/patrickhener/goshs/v2 library and its related packages to version 2.0.0-beta.6 or later.
