Golang < 1.24.13 / 1.25.x < 1.25.7 Code Smuggling

high Nessus Plugin ID 298546

Synopsis

An application installed on the remote host is affected by a code smuggling vulnerability.

Description

The version of Golang running on the remote host is prior to 1.24.13, or 1.25.x prior to 1.25.7. It is, therefore, affected by a code smuggling vulnerability as referenced in the advisory.

 - A discrepancy between how Go and C/C++ comments were parsed allowed for code smuggling into the resulting cgo binary. (CVE-2025-61732)

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

Solution

Upgrade to Golang Go version 1.24.13, 1.25.7 or later.
