2) Code Injection

EUVDB-ID: #VU77528

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1:

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-29402

CWE-ID: CWE-94 - Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the cgo go command when building code that contains directories with newline characters in their names. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the cgo command at build time and potentially compromise the system.

Modules which are retrieved using the go command, i.e. via "go get", are not affected (modules retrieved using GOPATH-mode, i.e. GO111MODULE=off, may be affected).

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

3) Code Injection

EUVDB-ID: #VU77530

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1:

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-29404

CWE-ID: CWE-94 - Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists within Go runtime when running "go get" on a malicious module, or when running any other
command which builds untrusted code.A remote attacker can inject and execute arbitrary code on the target system at build time when using cgo.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.
