Go 1.15.7 contained a security fix for CVE-2021-3115, which allowed arbitrary
code to be executed at build time when using cgo on Windows. This issue also
affects Unix users who have “.” listed explicitly in their PATH and are running
“go get” outside of a module or with module mode disabled.
This issue is not limited to the go command itself, and can also affect binaries
that use `os.Command`, `os.LookPath`, etc.
From the related blogpost (ttps://blog.golang.org/path-security):

This patch replaces all uses of `os/exec` with `golang.org/x/sys/execabs`. While
some uses of `os/exec` should not be problematic (e.g. part of tests), it is
probably good to be consistent, in case code gets moved around.

Add support for an 'env' field to the StreamProcessor configuration
and append the environment variables found there to the os.Environ()
array.
The env field takes environment variables in the form of key=value.
