CVE-2023-29404

9.8 criticalEPSS 1.8%

Critical (9.8). EPSS 1.8% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in toolchain 1.19.10, 1.20.5.

The go command may execute arbitrary code at build time when using cgo. This may occur when running "go get" on a malicious module, or when running any other command which builds untrusted code. This is can by triggered by linker flags, specified via a "#cgo LDFLAGS" directive. The arguments for a number of flags which are non-optional are incorrectly considered optional, allowing disallowed flags to be smuggled through the LDFLAGS sanitization. This affects usage of both the gc and gccgo compilers.
