Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2024-24785
**DESCRIPTION:**Golang Go could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by a flaw in the MarshalJSON methods in the html/template package. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject unexpected content into templates.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/285305 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2023-45289
**DESCRIPTION:**Golang Go could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a flaw when following an HTTP redirect to a domain which is not a subdomain match or exact match of the initial domain. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive headers information, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/285338 for the current score.
