10) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24784)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of display names within the ParseAddressList function in net/mail. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a spoofing attack.


11) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24785)

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 in html/template when parsing errors returned from MarshalJSON methods. A remote attacker can execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.


12) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24786)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop when parsing data in an invalid JSON format within the protojson.Unmarshal() function. A remote attacker can consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.


13) Unprotected Transport of Credentials (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-28110)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exist due to an error in the cloudevents.WithRoundTripper method used for creation of a cloudevents.Client with an authenticated http.RoundTripper. When the transport is populated with an authenticated transport, then http.DefaultClient is modified with the authenticated transport and will start to send Authorization tokens to any endpoint it is used to contact. As a result, a remote attacker can intercept credentials leaked by the go-sdk.


14) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-28176)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
