This changes go.mod to address something a scan flagged. It is around line 1.

The VP8L decoder in golang.org/x/image/vp8l can be triggered to allocate excessive memory when parsing a crafted VP8L image that includes many unused Huffman tree groups. This allows a remote attacker to cause a denial‑of‑service by exhausting the process's memory, making the application crash or become unresponsive. The issue is rated HIGH because a single malicious image can lead to resource exhaustion.

Update golang.org/x/image to v0.45.0 to address CVE-2026-46603.

For reference: rule CVE-2026-46603. Rated high.

I may well be missing context here — if the current code is deliberate, feel free to close this.


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

Thanks for the report.

The PR wasn't mergeable though. It didn't update go.sum and it made unrelated changes.

Since it's a security fix I applied the bump directly rather than wait on a follow up.

Please next time just open an issue rather than an automated PR.
