CVE-2017-15041
CriticalSummary
Go versions before 1.8.4 and 1.9.x before 1.9.1 allow remote command execution via 'go get'. By using custom domains, it is possible to configure repositories in a way that can exploit malicious code.
Risk Assessment
Organizations may be exposed to remote execution of malicious code, potentially leading to system and data compromise.
Recommendation
It is recommended to upgrade to the latest version of Go to eliminate this vulnerability and review used repositories for potential threats.
Original NVD description (English source)
Go before 1.8.4 and 1.9.x before 1.9.1 allows "go get" remote command execution. Using custom domains, it is possible to arrange things so that example.com/pkg1 points to a Subversion repository but example.com/pkg1/pkg2 points to a Git repository. If the Subversion repository includes a Git checkout in its pkg2 directory and some other work is done to ensure the proper ordering of operations, "go get" can be tricked into reusing this Git checkout for the fetch of code from pkg2. If the Subversion repository's Git checkout has malicious commands in .git/hooks/, they will execute on the system running "go get."
