"It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2023-388 advisory.
- The x/crypto/ssh package before 0.0.0-20211202192323-5770296d904e of golang.org/x/crypto allows an
attacker to panic an SSH server. (CVE-2021-43565)
- A maliciously crafted HTTP/2 stream could cause excessive CPU consumption in the HPACK decoder, sufficient
to cause a denial of service from a small number of small requests. (CVE-2022-41723)
- Templates do not properly consider backticks (`) as Javascript string delimiters, and do not escape them
as expected. Backticks are used, since ES6, for JS template literals. If a template contains a Go template
action within a Javascript template literal, the contents of the action can be used to terminate the
literal, injecting arbitrary Javascript code into the Go template. As ES6 template literals are rather
complex, and themselves can do string interpolation, the decision was made to simply disallow Go template
actions from being used inside of them (e.g. var a = {{.}}), since there is no obviously safe way to
allow this behavior. This takes the same approach as github.com/google/safehtml. With fix, Template.Parse
returns an Error when it encounters templates like this, with an ErrorCode of value 12. This ErrorCode is
currently unexported, but will be exported in the release of Go 1.21. Users who rely on the previous
behavior can re-enable it using the GODEBUG flag jstmpllitinterp=1, with the caveat that backticks will
now be escaped. This should be used with caution. (CVE-2023-24538)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
