"It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-1571 advisory.

    url.Parse insufficiently validated the host/authority component and accepted some invalid URLs.
    (CVE-2026-25679)

    On Unix platforms, when listing the contents of a directory using File.ReadDir or File.Readdir the
    returned FileInfo could reference a file outside of the Root in which the File was opened. The impact of
    this escape is limited to reading metadata provided by lstat from arbitrary locations on the filesystem
    without permitting reading or writing files outside the root. (CVE-2026-27139)

    Actions which insert URLs into the content attribute of HTML meta tags are not escaped. This can allow XSS
    if the meta tag also has an http-equiv attribute with the value refresh. A new GODEBUG setting has been
    added, htmlmetacontenturlescape, which can be used to disable escaping URLs in actions in the meta content
    attribute which follow url= by setting htmlmetacontenturlescape=0. (CVE-2026-27142)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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