Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-94444

high Nessus Plugin ID 364295

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.

- Previously, a user operating inside of a malicious Go project that defines a bogus golang.org/fips140 and operates a malicious GOMODPROXY the user chooses to connect to can serve an arbitrary module in its place.
We now unpack the trusted ziphash for the bundled golang.org/fips140 module and construct its entry in the GOMODCACHE such that it can be verified by the toolchain. (CVE-2026-94444)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
