Description
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-45285)
CWE-ID: CWE-311 - Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a fallback to insecure git. Using "go get" to fetch a module with the ".git" suffix may unexpectedly fallback to the insecure "git://" protocol if the module is unavailable via the secure "https://" and git+ssh://" protocols, even if GOINSECURE is not set for said module. This only affects users who are not using the module proxy and are fetching modules directly (i.e. OPROXY=off).
2) Link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4759)
CWE-ID: CWE-59 - Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to overwrite files on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to an insecure link following. A remote attacker can place a specially crafted symbolic link into the repository, trick the victim into cloning it and overwrite arbitrary files on the system.
3) Insufficient verification of data authenticity (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24557)
CWE-ID: CWE-345 - Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:H/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient verification of data authenticity. A remote attacker can poison victim´s cache by making them pull a specially crafted image that would be considered as a valid cache candidate for some build steps.
