Description

Go before 1.14.14 and 1.15.x before 1.15.7 on Windows is vulnerable to Command Injection and remote code execution when using the "go get" command to fetch modules that make use of cgo (for example, cgo can execute a gcc program from an untrusted download).
A flaw was found in golang: cmd/go, in which Go can execute arbitrary commands at build time when cgo is in use on Windows OS. On Linux/Unix, only users who have "." listed explicitly in their PATH variable are affected. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.
