The version of golist installed on the remote host is prior to 0.10.1-10. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-1913 advisory.

  • Reader.Read does not set a limit on the maximum size of file headers. A maliciously crafted archive could cause Read to allocate unbounded amounts of memory, potentially causing resource exhaustion or panics.
    After fix, Reader.Read limits the maximum size of header blocks to 1 MiB. (CVE-2022-2879)

  • Programs which compile regular expressions from untrusted sources may be vulnerable to memory exhaustion or denial of service. The parsed regexp representation is linear in the size of the input, but in some cases the constant factor can be as high as 40,000, making relatively small regexps consume much larger amounts of memory. After fix, each regexp being parsed is limited to a 256 MB memory footprint. Regular expressions whose representation would use more space than that are rejected. Normal use of regular expressions is unaffected. (CVE-2022-41715)

  • Due to unsanitized NUL values, attackers may be able to maliciously set environment variables on Windows.
    In syscall.StartProcess and os/exec.Cmd, invalid environment variable values containing NUL values are not properly checked for. A malicious environment variable value can exploit this behavior to set a value for a different environment variable. For example, the environment variable string A=B\x00C=D sets the variables A=B and C=D. (CVE-2022-41716)

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