gosec rule G602 always ignored

Welcome

• Yes, I'm using a binary release within 2 latest releases. Only such installations are supported.
• Yes, I've searched similar issues on GitHub and didn't find any.
• Yes, I've read the typecheck section of the FAQ.
• Yes, I've tried with the standalone linter if available (e.g., gocritic, go vet, etc.).
• I agree to follow this project's Code of Conduct

Description of the problem

I manually inserted the problematic code in a file (from gosec test for the rule G602):

	s := make([]byte, 0)
	fmt.Println(s[:3])

This problem is not caught when running :

golangci-lint run --no-config --enable gosec --new

However, when running gosec standalone the issue is caught:

[/Users/victor/work/fleet/server/vulnerabilities/nvd/sync.go:212] - G602 (CWE-118): slice bounds out of range (Confidence: HIGH, Severity: LOW)
    211: 	s := make([]byte, 0)
  > 212: 	fmt.Println(s[:3])
    213:

Verbose output of running

Note: I inserted some additional bad code and see that rule G404 is getting caught, but not G602.
