Possible fix(deps): 5 vulnerable dependencies in go.mod #696

Description

@begininvoke

Spotted what might be an issue in go.mod around line 1.

The project depends on golang.org/x/net v0.54.0, which is vulnerable to CVE-2026-25681. This flaw allows parsing of arbitrary HTML that is later rendered, potentially creating an unexpected HTML tree and enabling cross‑site scripting (XSS) attacks. An attacker could inject malicious scripts, steal user data, or perform actions on behalf of victims. The vulnerability is rated HIGH, indicating a serious security risk for any application that renders user‑provided HTML.

Something like this might fix it:

```diff
--- a/go.mod
+++ b/go.mod
@@
-require golang.org/x/net v0.54.0
+require golang.org/x/net v0.55.0 // upgraded to fix CVE-2026-25681
```

For reference: rule CVE-2026-25681. Rated high.

I do not maintain this project, so I may well be missing context — if this is intentional or already handled elsewhere, please just close it.


Found with automated scanning (RedGem) and reviewed before opening. If it is not useful, closing it is completely fine.
