I looked into the requirements for the golang.org/x/net v0.42.0 upgrade. It turns out that Go 1.23 is the minimum required version, as specified by the module’s go.mod file:
go 1.23

To address the security vulnerability in
golang.org/x/net, the following steps were taken:Upgraded to v0.42.0 using a
replacedirective ingo.mod.Ran
go mod tidyto ensure a clean dependency graph and remove unused dependencies.Confirmed the effective version with:
go list -m all | grep golang.org/x/netOutput showed that version
v0.42.0is the only one in use.Verified that the main module does not directly depend on
golang.org/x/net:go mod why golang.org/x/net # golang.org/x/net (main module does not need package golang.org/x/net)No other versions of
golang.org/x/netare reachable, and the project builds and tests cleanly. This resolves the vulnerability without introducinggovulncheck.
