QID 981256: Go (go) Security Update for github.com/wal-g/wal-g (GHSA-vrmr-f2qh-3hhf)

This is arguably a Principle of Least Surprise violation because "the user likely wanted to encrypt all file activity."

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may affect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the targeted user.
