Security Upgrade Review

This PR upgrades the Go base image from 1.15.14 to 1.26rc2 to address critical security vulnerabilities. However, there are significant concerns:

Critical Issues:

1. Release Candidate Risk: Using golang:1.26rc2 (a release candidate) in production is highly risky. Release candidates may contain bugs, incomplete features, or breaking changes that could cause application failures.

2. Version Availability: Go 1.26 has not been officially released yet. The latest stable Go version is 1.22.x.

Recommendations:

• Immediate Action: Replace golang:1.26rc2 with golang:1.22 (latest stable version)
• Security Benefits: Go 1.22 will still provide significant security improvements over 1.15.14 while maintaining stability
• Testing: Thoroughly test the application with the new Go version, as there may be breaking changes between 1.15 and 1.22

Alternative Approach:

If you need the absolute latest security patches, consider golang:1.22-alpine for a smaller attack surface, or wait for Go 1.26 to be officially released before upgrading.

The security vulnerabilities mentioned in the PR description are valid concerns, but using a stable Go version is the safer approach for production environments.
