"The version of golang / msft-golang installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is,

  - The go command May execute arbitrary code at build time when using cgo. This May occur when running go
    get on a malicious module, or when running any other command which builds untrusted code. This is can by
    triggered by linker flags, specified via a #cgo LDFLAGS directive. The arguments for a number of flags
    which are non-optional are incorrectly considered optional, allowing disallowed flags to be smuggled
    through the LDFLAGS sanitization. This affects usage of both the gc and gccgo compilers. (CVE-2023-29404)
