1) OS command execution
EUVDB-ID: #VU11851
Risk: High
CVSSv4.0: 6.1 [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/E:U/U:Amber]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-7187
CWE-ID:
CWE-78 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target system.
The weakness exists in the "go get" implementation due to insufficient validation of the import path (get/vcs.go only checks for "://" anywhere in the string) when the -insecure command-line option is used. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website, inject OS commands and execute arbitrary code.
Update the affected packages.
openSUSE Leap: 15.0
openSUSE Leap: 42.3
