CVE-2022-41722: Path traversal on Windows in path/filepath
First published: Wed Feb 15 2023(Updated: )
A flaw was found in Go, where it could allow a remote attacker to traverse directories on the system, caused by improper validation of user requests by the filepath.Clean on Windows package. This flaw allows an attacker to send a specially-crafted URL request containing "dot dot" sequences (/../) to view arbitrary files on the system.
