Current Behavior

[INF] Your current nuclei-templates v10.1.1 are outdated. Latest is v10.1.1
indicates an inconsistency or a bug in the version-checking mechanism of the Nuclei tool (a vulnerability scanner). Specifically:

It suggests that your current version of nuclei-templates is v10.1.1.
At the same time, it states that the latest version is also v10.1.1, which implies there shouldn't be an update required.
However, it is still labeling your current version as "outdated," which is likely incorrect.

Environment

- OS: Debian
- Nuclei: 3.3.8
- Go: 1.23.4

Anything else?

the latest version of nuclei is 3.3.8 but while running ./nuclei it says the version and templates are outdated, is anyone facing similar issues?

I tried to reproduce the issue on hack the box instance, but there it says (latest) suggesting no issues. But when running nuclei on my local kali machine (or parrot machine) either through installing binaries or by cloning the entire repository and building it with go (1.23.4) it says (outdated)On 9 Jan 2025, at 17:54, Dogan Can Bakir ***@***.***> wrote: I couldn't repro the issue: $ go run .
