3) Code Injection
EUVDB-ID: #VU77528
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 4.5 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2023-29402
CWE-ID:
CWE-94 - Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the cgo go command when building code that contains directories with newline characters in their names. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the cgo command at build time and potentially compromise the system.
Modules which are retrieved using the go command, i.e. via "go get", are not affected (modules retrieved using GOPATH-mode, i.e. GO111MODULE=off, may be affected).

4) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls
EUVDB-ID: #VU77529
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 7.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2023-29403
CWE-ID:
CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists within Go runtime due to application allows to execute setuid/setgid binaries without any restrictions. An attacker with ability to control the application flow can execute arbitrary code on the system with elevated privileges.

5) Cross-site scripting
EUVDB-ID: #VU75792
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 1.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:L/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2023-29400
CWE-ID:
CWE-79 - Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data when processing HTML attributes. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.
