OS Command Injection in Go programming language - CVE-2025-4674

Vulnerability identifier: #VU114341

CSH Severity: High

CVSS v4: 8.6 [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]

CVE-ID: CVE-2025-4674

CWE-ID: CWE-78

Exploitation vector: Remote access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when handling multiple VCS configuration metadata in Go toolchain. A remote attacker can trick the victim into directly cloning specially crafted Git or Mercurial repositories and execute arbitrary OS commands on the system.
