The version of Golang Go installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities the html/template component:

  • Angle brackets (<>) are not considered dangerous characters when inserted into CSS contexts. Templates containing multiple actions separated by a ‘/’ character could result in unexpectedly closing the CSS context and allowing for injection of unexpected HMTL, if executed with untrusted input. (CVE-2023-24539)

  • Not all valid JavaScript whitespace characters are considered to be whitespace. Templates containing other whitespace characters in JavaScript contexts that also contain actions may not be properly sanitized during execution. (CVE-2023-24540)

  • Templates containing actions in unquoted HTML attributes executed with empty input could result in output that would have unexpected results when parsed due to HTML normalization rules. This may allow injection of arbitrary attributes into tags. (CVE-2023-29400)

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