CVE-2023-29406: Insufficient sanitization of Host header in net/http

First published: Tue Jul 11 2023(Updated: )

Golang Go is vulnerable to HTTP header injection, caused by improper contents validation of Host header by the HTTP/1 client. By persuading a victim to visit a specially crafted Web page, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject arbitrary HTTP headers, which will allow the attacker to conduct various attacks against the vulnerable system, including cross-site scripting, cache poisoning or session hijacking.
