Description
A flaw was found in cmd/go. The `go` command can execute arbitrary commands when processing untrusted version control system (VCS) repositories containing malicious configuration. This issue occurs because the command interprets VCS metadata, potentially leading to unintended command execution. This vulnerability allows a malicious actor to trigger this by providing a repository with a crafted VCS configuration, resulting in arbitrary code execution within the context of the `go` process.
