Fixes #536

Requires go 1.26.10 in go.mod (go install ignores toolchain) so builds include the CVE-2026-111943 fix (golang/go#82345).
Release workflow now reads the Go version from go.mod; the explicit go-version there overrode the toolchain line.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores

    • Updated the project’s required Go toolchain version to 1.26.10.
    • Updated installation guidance to require Go 1.26.10.
  • Documentation

    • Revised the README to reflect the current Go version requirement.
    • This update does not introduce user-facing features or behavior changes.

The reviewed changes update go.mod to Go 1.26.10 and update the README installation requirement to the same version. Both changes directly support issue #536. No unrelated change is established by the available evidence.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #536 requires release builds to use a patched Go version. go.mod declares go 1.26.10, which satisfies the patched-version requirement for module-driven builds. The current .github/workflows/release.yml blob is unavailable, and the supplied change summary lists only go.mod and README.md. Therefore, this evidence does not establish whether release builds use go.mod instead of an older explicit Go version.

Resolution

Provide reviewable evidence of the current release workflow or equivalent CI configuration showing that release builds use Go 1.26.10 from go.mod.

    * Specifying a go version
    * Matrix testing
  * Using the go-version-file input
  * Check latest version
  * Caching
    * Caching in monorepos

    * Parallel builds
  * Outputs
    * go-version
    * cache-hit
    * Go environment outputs
  * Custom download URL
  * Using `setup-go` on GHES

## Using the `go-version` input

### Specifying a Go version

For repeatable builds, specify the exact major, minor, and patch version (such as `1.25.5`):
    
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v7
      - uses: actions/setup-go@v7
        with:
          go-version: &#39;1.25.5&#39;
      - run: go run hello.go

  * The only downside is that setup may take a little longer. If the exact version is not already installed on the runner due to more recent versions, the exact version will have to be downloaded.

You can specify only a major and minor version if you are okay with the most recent patch version being used:
    
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v7
      - uses: actions/setup-go@v7
        with:
          go-version: &#39;1.25&#39;
      - run: go run hello.go

  * There will be a single patch version already installed on each runner for every minor version of Go that is supported.
  * The preinstalled patch version is generally the latest available. When a new patch is released, it replaces the previously preinstalled version on the runner.
  * Using the most recent patch version speeds up setup because the required Go version is already installed on the runner and no download is needed.

To try a pre-release: Download and use beta or RC Go versions as needed.
    
    # RC version
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v7
      - uses: actions/setup-go@v7
        with:
          go-version: &#39;1.25.0-rc.2&#39;
      - run: go version
    
    # Beta version
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v7
      - uses: actions/setup-go@v7
        with:
          go-version: &#39;1.19.0-beta.1&#39;
      - run: go version

Using stable/oldstable aliases:

If `stable` is provided, the action will get the latest stable version from the `go-versions` repository manifest.

If `oldstable` is provided, the action resolves it to the latest patch release of the previous stable Go minor version (for example, if the latest stable is `1.25.x`, `oldstable` resolves to `1.24.x`, where `x` is the latest patch release).

Note: Using these aliases will result in the same version as when using the corresponding minor release with the `check-latest` input set to `true`.
    
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v7
      - uses: actions/setup-go@v7
        with:
          go-version: &#39;stable&#39;
      - run: go run hello.go
    
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v7
      - uses: actions/setup-go@v7
## Using the `go-version-file` input

`setup-go` action can read the Go version from a version file. `go-version-file` input is used for specifying the path to the version file. If the file supplied to the `go-version-file` input doesn&#39;t exist, the action will fail with an error. This input supports go.mod, go.work, .go-version, and .tool-versions files.

If both the `go-version` and the `go-version-file` inputs are provided then the `go-version` input is used. The `.to…[truncated]</excerpt>

The `setup-go` action is the recommended way of using Go with GitHub Actions, because it helps ensure consistent behavior across different runners and different versions of Go.

  1. On GitHub, navigate to the main page of the repository.

  2. Under your repository name, click Actions.

  3. If you already have a workflow in your repository, click New workflow.

  4. The &quot;Choose a workflow&quot; page shows a selection of recommended workflow templates. Search for &quot;go&quot;.

  5. Filter the selection of workflows by clicking Continuous integration.

  6. On the &quot;Go - by GitHub Actions&quot; workflow, click Configure.

  7. Edit the workflow as required. For example, change the version of Go.

  8. Click Commit changes.

The `go.yml` workflow file is added to the `.github/workflows` directory of your repository.

## Specifying a Go version

The easiest way to specify a Go version is by using the `setup-go` action provided by GitHub. For more information see, the `setup-go` action.

To use a preinstalled version of Go on a GitHub-hosted runner, pass the relevant version to the `go-version` property of the `setup-go` action. This action finds a specific version of Go from the tools cache on each runner, and adds the necessary binaries to `PATH`. These changes will persist for the remainder of the job.

The `setup-go` action is the recommended way of using Go with GitHub Actions, because it helps ensure consistent behavior across different runners and different versions of Go. If you are using a self-hosted runner, you must install Go and add it to `PATH`.

### Using multiple versions of Go

YAML
    
    name: Go
    
    on: [push]
    
    jobs:
      build:
    
        runs-on: ubuntu-latest
        strategy:
          matrix:
            go-version: [ &#39;1.19&#39;, &#39;1.20&#39;, &#39;1.21.x&#39; ]
    
        steps:
          - uses: actions/checkout@v6
          - name: Setup Go ${{ matrix.go-version }}
            uses: actions/setup-go@v5
            with:
              go-version: ${{ matrix.go-version }}
          # You can test your matrix by printing the current Go version
          - name: Display Go version
            run: go version
    
    
    `name: Go
    
    on: [push]
    
    jobs:
      build:
    
        runs-on: ubuntu-latest
        strategy:
          matrix:
            go-version: [ &#39;1.19&#39;, &#39;1.20&#39;, &#39;1.21.x&#39; ]
    
        steps:
          - uses: actions/checkout@v6
          - name: Setup Go ${{ matrix.go-version }}
            uses: actions/setup-go@v5
            with:
              go-version: ${{ matrix.go-version }}
          # You can test your matrix by printing the current Go version
          - name: Display Go version
            run: go version
    `

### Using a specific Go version

You can configure your job to use a specific version of Go, such as `1.20.8`. Alternatively, you can use semantic version syntax to get the latest minor release. This example uses the latest patch release of Go 1.21:

YAML
    
          - name: Setup Go 1.21.x
            uses: actions/setup-go@v5
            with:
              # Semantic version range syntax or exact version of Go
              go-version: &#39;1.21.x&#39;
    
    
    `      - name: Setup Go 1.21.x
            uses: actions/setup-go@v5
            with:
              # Semantic version range syntax or exact version of Go
              go-version: &#39;1.21.x&#39;
    `

Constrain the release toolchain selection.

projectdiscovery/actions/setup/go@v1 reads go.mod, but its parser falls back to go 1.25.0 when GOTOOLCHAIN=local is present. Set GOTOOLCHAIN=auto and record the effective compiler version.

Suggested fix
       - name: "Set up Go"
         uses: projectdiscovery/actions/setup/go@v1
+        env:
+          GOTOOLCHAIN: auto
+
+      - name: "Record Go version"
+        run: go version

Update the workflow’s Go setup step to set GOTOOLCHAIN=auto, then add a separate
“Record Go version” step that runs go version to capture the effective compiler
version.
