Bump github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql to v1.10.0 (clears CVE-2026-26958 / edwards25519 scanner flags)

Summary

The current sqlx release (v1.4.0) requires github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql v1.8.1, which transitively pulls in filippo.io/edwards25519 v1.1.0. That version of edwards25519 is flagged by CVE-2026-26958. Bumping the driver to v1.10.0 (current latest) resolves the flag, since go-sql-driver/mysql has already moved to a fixed edwards25519.

Details

• CVE-2026-26958 affects filippo.io/edwards25519 ≤ v1.1.0: (*Point).MultiScalarMult returns an incorrect result (or undefined behavior) when the receiver is not the identity point. Fixed in v1.1.1. Severity is low (CVSS 1.7).
• go-sql-driver/mysql v1.8.1 → edwards25519 v1.1.0 (flagged).
• go-sql-driver/mysql v1.10.0 → edwards25519 v1.2.0 (updated to v1.1.1 in go-sql-driver/mysql#1749, then bumped to v1.2.0 in #1756). Not flagged.

On actual impact

For full disclosure: CVE-2026-26958 explicitly states that consumers who reach edwards25519 only through github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql are not affected — the driver never calls the vulnerable MultiScalarMult API. Symbol-reachability scanners such as govulncheck correctly report no vulnerability for sqlx today.

The practical issue is the many SCA/dependency scanners (Dependabot and other module-level matchers) that flag any dependency graph containing edwards25519 ≤ v1.1.0 regardless of symbol reachability. These produce recurring false positives for every project that depends on sqlx. Since go-sql-driver/mysql has already shipped a fixed version, updating the requirement here is a low-risk way to keep those downstream scans clean — it's really just keeping a direct dependency current, with the CVE noise going away as a side effect.

Suggested change

In go.mod, update github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql to v1.10.0 and run go mod tidy.
