Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.
1) OS command execution (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-7187)
The 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.
Remediation
Install update from vendor's website.
