Publication date: 2025-07-29

Assigner: Go Project

Description
The go command may execute unexpected commands when operating in untrusted VCS repositories. This occurs when possibly dangerous VCS configuration is present in repositories. This can happen when a repository was fetched via one VCS (e.g. Git), but contains metadata for another VCS (e.g. Mercurial). Modules which are retrieved using the go command line, i.e. via "go get", are not affected.

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

This vulnerability involves the 'go' command executing unexpected commands when working with untrusted version control system (VCS) repositories. It happens if a repository fetched by one VCS (like Git) contains configuration metadata for another VCS (like Mercurial), which may be dangerous. However, modules retrieved using the 'go get' command are not affected.


How can this vulnerability impact me? :

The vulnerability can lead to the execution of unexpected commands when using the 'go' command on untrusted repositories with mixed VCS metadata. This could potentially allow an attacker to run arbitrary commands, leading to security risks such as unauthorized code execution or system compromise.
