Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2023-39319
**DESCRIPTION:**Golang Go is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input by the html/template package. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a specially crafted URL to execute script in a victim’s Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the URL is clicked. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim’s cookie-based authentication credentials.
CVSS Base score: 6.1
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/265942 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2023-39323
**DESCRIPTION:**Golang Go could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by improper enforcement of line directive restrictions in the “//go:cgo_” directives. By providing specially crafted input in the linker and compiler flags, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system. Note: The line directive requires the absolute path of the file in which the directive lives, which makes exploiting this issue significantly more complex.
CVSS Base score: 8.1
