Protection mechanism failure in Go programming language - CVE-2025-68119

Vulnerability identifier: #VU124037

CSH Severity: High

CVSS v4 BT: 4.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber]

CVE-ID: CVE-2025-68119

CWE-ID: CWE-693

Exploitation vector: Remote access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to usage of unsafe options in Go toolchain. On systems with Mercurial installed (hg) downloading modules from non-standard sources can lead to unexpected code execution due to how external VCS are constructed. A remote attacker can trick the victim into downloading and executing arbitrary code on the target system.
