CVSS 3.1
7.5 highCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:NCVE-2022-41716
High (7.5) in golang go. EPSS 1.0% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in stdlib 1.18.8, 1.19.3.
Due to unsanitized NUL values, attackers may be able to maliciously set environment variables on Windows. In syscall.StartProcess and os/exec.Cmd, invalid environment variable values containing NUL values are not properly checked for. A malicious environment variable value can exploit this behavior to set a value for a different environment variable. For example, the environment variable string "A=B\x00C=D" sets the variables "A=B" and "C=D".
