Golang osv scanner is outdated
Metadata
Current evaluation
Golang OSV scanner snap is outdated and cannot handle go.mod toolchain entries. Upstream snap fix exists in edge channel but workflow still installs stable. Unlabelled, no assignee, inactive 410 days.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: Filed by maintainer cmatsuoka but has no labels, no assignee, and no committed action plan. Comments from @lengau and @upils confirm the upstream snap is fixed and available in the edge channel, and @lengau suggested using edge, but no maintainer has followed through. The workflow at .github/workflows/scan-golang.yaml still runs 'sudo snap install osv-scanner' without a channel, so the problem persists.
