high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 440382

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 leaks file-based ACL
credentials through its public collaborator feed when the server is deployed without global basic auth.
Requests to .goshs-protected folders are logged before authorization is enforced, and the collaborator
websocket broadcasts raw request headers, including Authorization. An unauthenticated observer can capture
a victim's folder-specific basic-auth header and replay it to read, upload, overwrite, and delete files
inside the protected subtree. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.0.0-beta.6. (CVE-2026-40885)

Solution

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