"It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-1977 advisory.

    On Unix systems, opening a file in an os.Root improperly follows symlinks to locations outside of the Root
    when the final path component of the a path is a symbolic link and the path ends in /. For example,
    'root.Open(symlink/)' will open symlink even when symlink is a symbolic link pointing outside of the
    root. (CVE-2026-39822)

    Handshakes which used Encrypted Client Hello could be de-anonymized by a passive network observer due to a
    disclosure of pre-shared key identities in the unencrypted client hello. (CVE-2026-42505)

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
