The version of golist installed on the remote host is prior to 0.10.1-11. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2022-2022-240 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.
