Golang 1.24.x < 1.24.3 Directory Traversal

high Nessus Plugin ID 235470

Synopsis

An application installed on the remote host is affected by a directory traversal vulnerability.

Description

The version of Golang running on the remote host is 1.24.x prior to 1.24.3. It is, therefore, affected by a directory traversal vulnerability that makes it possible to improperly access the parent directory of an os.Root.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Golang Go version 1.24.3 or later.
