Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) OS command execution (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-7187)
CWE-ID: CWE-78 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target system.
The weakness exists in the "go get" implementation due to insufficient validation of the import path (get/vcs.go only checks for "://" anywhere in the string) when the -insecure command-line option is used. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website, inject OS commands and execute arbitrary code.
Remediation
Install update from vendor's website.
