Echo: golang-1.24: security update to 1.24.12

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 462146

Description

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

 - Downloading and building modules with malicious version strings can cause local code execution. On systems
 with Mercurial (hg) installed, downloading modules from non-standard sources (e.g., custom domains) can
 cause unexpected code execution due to how external VCS commands are constructed. This issue can also be
 triggered by providing a malicious version string to the toolchain. On systems with Git installed,
 downloading and building modules with malicious version strings can allow an attacker to write to
 arbitrary files on the filesystem. This can only be triggered by explicitly providing the malicious
 version strings to the toolchain and does not affect usage of @latest or bare module paths.
 (CVE-2025-68119)

Solution

Update the golang-1.24 library and its related packages to version 1.24.12 or later.
