Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2025-4674

high Nessus Plugin ID 251252

Language:

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

 - The go command may execute unexpected commands when operating in untrusted VCS repositories. This occurs when possibly dangerous VCS configuration is present in repositories. This can happen when a repository was fetched via one VCS (e.g. Git), but contains metadata for another VCS (e.g. Mercurial). Modules which are retrieved using the go command line, i.e. via go get, are not affected. (CVE-2025-4674)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
