The version of golang installed on the remote host is prior to 1.18.3-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2022-1830 advisory.

  - A nil pointer dereference in the golang.org/x/crypto/ssh component through     v0.0.0-20201203163018-be400aefbc4c for Go allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service against SSH     servers. (CVE-2020-29652)

  - encoding/xml in Go before 1.15.9 and 1.16.x before 1.16.1 has an infinite loop if a custom TokenReader     (for xml.NewTokenDecoder) returns EOF in the middle of an element. This can occur in the Decode,     DecodeElement, or Skip method. (CVE-2021-27918)

  - archive/zip in Go 1.16.x before 1.16.1 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) upon     attempted use of the Reader.Open API for a ZIP archive in which ../ occurs at the beginning of any     filename. (CVE-2021-27919)

  - Go before 1.15.13 and 1.16.x before 1.16.5 has functions for DNS lookups that do not validate replies from     DNS servers, and thus a return value may contain an unsafe injection (e.g., XSS) that does not conform to     the RFC1035 format. (CVE-2021-33195)

  - 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)

  - Go before 1.15.15 and 1.16.x before 1.16.7 has a race condition that can lead to a net/http/httputil     ReverseProxy panic upon an ErrAbortHandler abort. (CVE-2021-36221)

  - Go before 1.16.9 and 1.17.x before 1.17.2 has a Buffer Overflow via large arguments in a function     invocation from a WASM module, when GOARCH=wasm GOOS=js is used. (CVE-2021-38297)

  - In archive/zip in Go before 1.16.8 and 1.17.x before 1.17.1, a crafted archive header (falsely designating     that many files are present) can cause a NewReader or OpenReader panic. NOTE: this issue exists because of     an incomplete fix for CVE-2021-33196. (CVE-2021-39293)

  - Rat.SetString in math/big in Go before 1.16.14 and 1.17.x before 1.17.7 has an overflow that can lead to     Uncontrolled Memory Consumption. (CVE-2022-23772)

  - cmd/go in Go before 1.16.14 and 1.17.x before 1.17.7 can misinterpret branch names that falsely appear to     be version tags. This can lead to incorrect access control if an actor is supposed to be able to create     branches but not tags. (CVE-2022-23773)

  - Curve.IsOnCurve in crypto/elliptic in Go before 1.16.14 and 1.17.x before 1.17.7 can incorrectly return     true in situations with a big.Int value that is not a valid field element. (CVE-2022-23806)

  - encoding/pem in Go before 1.17.9 and 1.18.x before 1.18.1 has a Decode stack overflow via a large amount     of PEM data. (CVE-2022-24675)

  - regexp.Compile in Go before 1.16.15 and 1.17.x before 1.17.8 allows stack exhaustion via a deeply nested     expression. (CVE-2022-24921)

  - The generic P-256 feature in crypto/elliptic in Go before 1.17.9 and 1.18.x before 1.18.1 allows a panic     via long scalar input. (CVE-2022-28327)

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