CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2022-32148
**DESCRIPTION:**Golang Go could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by improper exposure of client IP addresses in net/http. By calling httputil.ReverseProxy.ServeHTTP with a Request.Header map containing a nil value for the X-Forwarded-For header, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain the client IP address information, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
