CVE-2020-28366

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Go versions prior to 1.14.12 Go versions 1.15.x prior to 1.15.5

Description The issue allows for code injection in the go command when cgo is used, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution at build time. This can happen through a malicious unquoted symbol name in a linked object file, such as when running go get on a malicious package or any other command that builds untrusted code.

Recommendations For Go versions prior to 1.14.12, update to version 1.14.12 or later. For Go versions 1.15.x prior to 1.15.5, update to version 1.15.5 or later. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of cgo with untrusted code until a patch is applied.
