The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop when calling any of the Parse functions on Go source code which contains //line directives with very large line numbers. A remote attacker can consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-38737)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-34462)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources if no idle timeout handler was configured. A remote attacker can send a client hello packet, which leads the server to buffer up to 16MB of data per connection and results in a denial of service condition.
4) Incorrect default permissions (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2976)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect default permissions in com.google.common.io.FileBackedOutputStream. A local user with access to the system can view contents of files and directories or modify them.

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).
10) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-29400)
The 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.
11) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24540)

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.
13) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24538)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in html/template when handling JavaScript templates that contain backticks in code. If a template contains a Go template action within a JavaScript template literal, the contents of the action can be used to terminate the literal, injecting arbitrary JavaScript code into the Go template.
14) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24536)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within mime/multipart and net/textproto components when parsing multipart forms. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted request to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
15) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24534)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when parsing HTTP and MIME headers in net/textproto. A remote attacker can cause an HTTP server to allocate large amounts of memory from a small request and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
16) Incorrect calculation (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24532)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to the ScalarMult and ScalarBaseMult methods of the P256 Curve may return an incorrect result if called with some specific unreduced scalars.
17) Incorrect Regular Expression (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-25883)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in the dbus-daemon when sending a reply message from the "bus driver". If a local privileged user (e.g. root) is using the org.freedesktop.DBus.Monitoring interface to monitor message bus traffic, another unprivileged user with the ability to connect to the same dbus-daemon can force the service to send an unreplyable message and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
20) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-32681)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to requests has been leaking Proxy-Authorization headers to destination servers when redirected to an HTTPS endpoint. A remote attacker can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.
21) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-29469)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

22) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-28484)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in xmlSchemaFixupComplexType. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
23) Improper certificate validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-28321)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper certificate validation when matching wildcards in TLS certificates for IDN names. A remote attacker crate a specially crafted certificate that will be considered trusted by the library.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that curl is built to use OpenSSL, Schannel or Gskit.
24) State Issues (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-27536)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to otherwise restricted functionality.
The vulnerability exists due to cURL will reuse a previously created connection even when the GSS delegation (CURLOPT_GSSAPI_DELEGATION) option had been changed that could have changed the user's permissions in a second transfer. libcurl keeps previously used connections in a connection pool for subsequent transfers to reuse if one of them matches the setup. However, this GSS delegation setting was left out from the configuration match checks, making them match too easily, affecting krb5/kerberos/negotiate/GSSAPI transfers.
25) PHP file inclusion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2603)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to include and execute arbitrary PHP files on the server.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect input validation when including PHP files in web/ajax/modal.php. A remote non-authenticated attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the affected application, include and execute arbitrary PHP code on the system with privileges of the web server.
26) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2602)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.
