The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 78f2e491-312d-11ee-85f2-bd89b893fcb4 advisory.

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

  - Not all valid JavaScript whitespace characters are considered to be whitespace. Templates containing     whitespace characters outside of the character set \t\n\f\r\u0020\u2028\u2029 in JavaScript contexts     that also contain actions may not be properly sanitized during execution. (CVE-2023-24540)

  - Templates containing actions in unquoted HTML attributes (e.g. attr={{.}}) executed with empty input can     result in output with unexpected results when parsed due to HTML normalization rules. This may allow     injection of arbitrary attributes into tags. (CVE-2023-29400)

  - The go command may generate unexpected code at build time when using cgo. This may result in unexpected     behavior when running a go program which uses cgo. This may occur when running an untrusted module which     contains directories with newline characters in their names. Modules which are retrieved using the go     command, i.e. via go get, are not affected (modules retrieved using GOPATH-mode, i.e. GO111MODULE=off,     may be affected). (CVE-2023-29402)

  - On Unix platforms, the Go runtime does not behave differently when a binary is run with the setuid/setgid     bits. This can be dangerous in certain cases, such as when dumping memory state, or assuming the status of     standard i/o file descriptors. If a setuid/setgid binary is executed with standard I/O file descriptors     closed, opening any files can result in unexpected content being read or written with elevated privileges.
    Similarly, if a setuid/setgid program is terminated, either via panic or signal, it may leak the contents     of its registers. (CVE-2023-29403)

  - 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)

  - The HTTP/1 client does not fully validate the contents of the Host header. A maliciously crafted Host     header can inject additional headers or entire requests. With fix, the HTTP/1 client now refuses to send     requests containing an invalid Request.Host or Request.URL.Host value. (CVE-2023-29406)

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