Vulnerability Details

CVEID:   CVE-2024-24790
DESCRIPTION:   An unspecified error related to various Is methods (IsPrivate, IsLoopback, etc) did not work as expected for IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses in the net/netip package in Golang Go has an unknown impact and attack vector.
CWE:   CWE-1287: Improper Validation of Specified Type of Input
CVSS Source:   IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score:   9.8
CVSS Vector:   (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID:   CVE-2023-24538
DESCRIPTION:   Golang Go could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by the failure to properly consider backticks (`) as Javascript string delimiters. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
CWE:   CWE-94: Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')
CVSS Source:   IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score:   9.8
CVSS Vector:   (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID:   CVE-2023-24540
DESCRIPTION:   Go is vulnerable to HTML injection. A remote attacker could inject malicious HTML code into a template containing whitespace characters outside of the character set "\t\n\f\r\u0020\u2028\u2029", which when viewed, would execute in the victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting site.
CWE:   CWE-74: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection')
CVSS Source:   IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score:   9.8
CVSS Vector:   (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID:   CVE-2022-1996
DESCRIPTION:   go-restful could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by improper regular expression implementation in the CORS Filter feature. By sending a specially-crafted request using the AllowedDomains parameter, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to break CORS policy and allow any page to make requests.
CWE:   CWE-639: Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key
CVSS Source:   IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score:   9.3
CVSS Vector:   (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N)

Disclaimer

According to the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is an "industry open standard designed to convey vulnerability severity and help to determine urgency and priority of response." IBM PROVIDES THE CVSS SCORES ""AS IS"" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CUSTOMERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL SECURITY VULNERABILITY. In addition to other efforts to address potential vulnerabilities, IBM periodically updates the record of components contained in our product offerings. As part of that effort, if IBM identifies previously unidentified packages in a product/service inventory, we address relevant vulnerabilities regardless of CVE date. Inclusion of an older CVEID does not demonstrate that the referenced product has been used by IBM since that date, nor that IBM was aware of a vulnerability as of that date. We are making clients aware of relevant vulnerabilities as we become aware of them. "Affected Products and Versions" referenced in IBM Security Bulletins are intended to be only products and versions that are supported by IBM and have not passed their end-of-support or warranty date. Thus, failure to reference unsupported or extended-support products and versions in this Security Bulletin does not constitute a determination by IBM that they are unaffected by the vulnerability. Reference to one or more unsupported versions in this Security Bulletin shall not create an obligation for IBM to provide fixes for any unsupported or extended-support products or versions.
