🛡️ CVE-2018-7187 — toolchain
Description
Remote command execution via "go get" command with "-insecure" option in cmd/go
The "go get" command is vulnerable to remote code execution.
When the -insecure command-line option is used, "go get" does not validate the import path (get/vcs.go only checks for "://" anywhere in the string), which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands via a crafted web site.
