The upgrade may still build with a vulnerable Go 1.26 patch release, so the exact 1.26.6 toolchain should be enforced before merge.

official Go vulnerability GO-2026-6091 CVE-2026-56858 fixed version

💡 Result:

The vulnerability GO-2026-6091 (CVE-2026-56858) is a security flaw in the Go standard library's html/template package that could lead to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) due to incorrect JavaScript regular expression context tracking [1][2][3]. To remediate this vulnerability, users should upgrade to the following fixed versions [1][4]: - For versions before 1.25.13: Upgrade to 1.25.13 or later [1][4]. - For versions 1.26.0 and later: Upgrade to 1.26.6 or later [1][4]. - For versions 1.27.0 and later: Upgrade to 1.27.0 or later (specifically, the fix is included in 1.27.0 release) [1][4]. Note that versions from 1.27.0-0 up to (but not including) 1.27.0-rc.3 are affected [1][2]. Always refer to the official Go security advisories for the most accurate and up-to-date guidance [1][5].
