Description
Hello, we are a team researching the dependency management mechanism of Golang. During our analysis, we came across your project and noticed that it contains a vulnerability (CVE-2022-44797). In your project, the github.com/btcsuite/btcd package is being used at version github.com/btcsuite/btcd v0.22.1, but the patched version is v0.23.2. To fix the vulnerability, we recommend modifying the go.mod file to update the version to v0.23.2 or higher. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Research direction
Start in go.mod and locate github.com/btcsuite/btcd at v0.22.1. Update the dependency to v0.23.2 or higher, then verify that dependency resolution and the project's checks still pass. Done means the vulnerable version is no longer selected.
