The version of golang installed on the remote host is prior to 1.15.14-1.69. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2021-1527 advisory.

  • In Go before 1.15.13 and 1.16.x before 1.16.5, some configurations of ReverseProxy (from net/http/httputil) result in a situation where an attacker is able to drop arbitrary headers.
    (CVE-2021-33197)

  • In Go before 1.15.13 and 1.16.x before 1.16.5, there can be a panic for a large exponent to the math/big.Rat SetString or UnmarshalText method. (CVE-2021-33198)

  • The crypto/tls package of Go through 1.16.5 does not properly assert that the type of public key in an X.509 certificate matches the expected type when doing a RSA based key exchange, allowing a malicious TLS server to cause a TLS client to panic. (CVE-2021-34558)

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