From the security announce:
We have just released Go versions 1.26.2 and 1.25.9, minor point releases.
These releases include 10 security fixes following the security policy:
- os: Root.Chmod can follow symlinks out of the root on Linux
On Linux, if the target of Root.Chmod is replaced with a symlink while
the chmod operation is in progress, Chmod could operate on the target
of the symlink, even when the target lies outside the root.
The Linux fchmodat syscall silently ignores the AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW flag,
which Root.Chmod uses to avoid symlink traversal. Root.Chmod checks its
target before acting and returns an error if the target is a symlink
lying outside the root, so the impact is limited to cases where the
target is replaced with a symlink between the check and operation.
On Linux, Root.Chmod now uses the fchmodat2 syscall when available, and
an workaround using /proc/self/fd otherwise.
Thanks to Uuganbayar Lkhamsuren for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2026-32282 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/78293.
- html/template: JS template literal context incorrectly tracked
Context was not properly tracked across template branches for JS template
literals, leading to possibly incorrect escaping of content when branches were
used.
Additionally template actions within JS template literals did not properly
track
the brace depth, leading to incorrect escaping being applied.
These issues could cause actions within JS template literals to be incorrectly
or improperly escaped, leading to XSS vulnerabilities.
This only affects templates that use template actions within JS template
literals.
This is CVE-2026-32289 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/78331.
- crypto/x509: excluded DNS constraints not properly applied to wildcard domains
When verifying a certificate chain containing excluded DNS constraints, these
constraints are not correctly applied to wildcard DNS SANs which use a
different
case than the constraint.
For example, if a certificate contains the DNS name "*.example.com" and the
excluded DNS name "EXAMPLE.COM", the constraint will not be applied.
This only affects validation of otherwise trusted certificate chains, issued
by
a root CA in the VerifyOptions.Roots CertPool, or in the system certificate
pool.
This issue only affects Go 1.26.
Thank you to Riyas from Saintgits College of Engineering, k1rnt, @1seal for
reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2026-33810 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/78332.
- cmd/compile: no-op interface conversion bypasses overlap checking
Previously, the compiler failed to unwrap pointers contained within
a no-op interface conversion leading to an incorrect determination
of a non-overlapping move.
To prevent unsafe move operations, the compiler will now unwrap all
such conversions before considering a move non-overlapping.
Thank you to Jakub Ciolek - https://ciolek.dev/ for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2026-27144 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/78371.
- cmd/compile: possible memory corruption after bound check elimination
Previously, slices and arrays accessed using induction variables
were sometimes incorrectly proved in-bound. If the induction variable
used for indexing were to overflow or underflow, it could allow access
to memory beyond the scope of the original slice or array.
To prevent this behavior, the compiler ensures that any mutated induction
variable that overflows/underflows with respect to its loop condition
is not used for bound check elimination.
Thank you to Jakub Ciolek - https://ciolek.dev/ for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2026-27143 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/78333.
- archive/tar: unbounded allocation when parsing old format GNU sparse map
tar.Reader could allocate an unbounded amount of memory when reading
a maliciously-crafted archive containing a large number of sparse
regions encoded in the "old GNU sparse map" format.
We now limit both the number of old GNU sparse map extension blocks,
and the total number of sparse file entries, regardless of encoding.
Thanks to Colin Walters (wal...@verbum.org) who initially reported this issue.
Thanks also to Uuganbayar Lkhamsuren (https://github.com/uug4na) and Jakub
Ciolek
who additionally reported this issue.
This is CVE-2026-32288 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/78301.
- crypto/tls: multiple key update handshake messages can cause connection to
deadlock
If one side of the TLS connection sends multiple key update messages
post-handshake in a single record, the connection can deadlock, causing
uncontrolled consumption of resources. This can lead to a denial of service.
This only affects TLS 1.3.
Thank you to Jakub Ciolek - https://ciolek.dev/ for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2026-32283 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/78334.
- cmd/go: trust layer bypass when using cgo and SWIG
A well-crafted SWIG source file could take advantage
of a file-naming convention used inside the trust
boundary of the cgo compiler. Doing so could result
in arbitrary code execution during build time.
SWIG files are disallowed from using this convention.
Thank you to Juho Forsén of Mattermost for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2026-27140 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/78335.
- crypto/x509: unexpected work during chain building
During chain building, the amount of work that is done is not correctly
limited
when a large number of intermediate certificates are passed in
VerifyOptions.Intermediates, which can lead to a denial of service. This
affects
both direct users of crypto/x509 and users of crypto/tls.
Thank you to Jakub Ciolek - https://ciolek.dev/ for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2026-32280 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/78282.
- crypto/x509: inefficient policy validation
Validating certificate chains which use policies is unexpectedly inefficient
when certificates in the chain contain a very large number of policy mappings,
possibly causing denial of service.
This only affects validation of otherwise trusted certificate chains, issued
by
a root CA in the VerifyOptions.Roots CertPool, or in the system certificate
pool.
Thank you to Jakub Ciolek - https://ciolek.dev/ for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2026-32281 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/78281.

---
We have just released Go versions 1.26.1 and 1.25.8, minor point releases.
These releases include 5 security fixes following the security policy:
crypto/x509: incorrect enforcement of email constraints
- When verifying a certificate chain which contains a certificate containing
multiple email address constraints (composed of the full email address) which
share common local portions (the portion of the address before the '@'
character) but different domain portions (the portion of the address after the
'@' character), these constraints will not be properly applied, and only the
last constraint will be considered.
This can allow certificates in the chain containing email addresses which are
either not permitted or excluded by the relevant constraints to be returned by
calls to Certificate.Verify. Since the name constraint checks happen after chain
building is complete, this only applies to certificate chains which chain to
trusted roots (root certificates either in VerifyOptions.Roots or in the system
root certificate pool), requiring a trusted CA to issue certificates containing
either not permitted or excluded email addresses.
This issue only affects Go 1.26.
Thanks to Jakub Ciolek for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2026-27137 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/77952.
- crypto/x509: panic in name constraint checking for malformed certificates
Certificate verification can panic when a certificate in the chain has an empty
DNS name and another certificate in the chain has excluded name constraints.
This can crash programs that are either directly verifying X.509 certificate
chains, or those that use TLS.
Since the name constraint checks happen after chain building is complete, this
only applies to certificate chains which chain to trusted roots (root
certificates either in VerifyOptions.Roots or in the system root certificate
pool), requiring a trusted CA to issue certificates containing malformed DNS
names.
This issue only affects Go 1.26.
Thanks to Jakub Ciolek for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2026-27138 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/77953.
- html/template: URLs in meta content attribute actions are not escaped
Actions which insert URLs into the content attribute of HTML meta tags are not
escaped. This can allow XSS if the meta tag also has an http-equiv attribute
with the value "refresh".
A new GODEBUG setting has been added, htmlmetacontenturlescape, which can be
used to disable escaping URLs in actions in the meta content attribute which
follow "url=" by setting htmlmetacontenturlescape=0.
This is CVE-2026-27142 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/77954.
- net/url: reject IPv6 literal not at start of host
The Go standard library function net/url.Parse insufficiently
validated the host/authority component and accepted some invalid URLs
by effectively treating garbage before an IP-literal as ignorable.
The function should have rejected this as invalid.
To prevent this behavior, net/url.Parse now rejects IPv6 literals
that do not appear at the start of the host subcomponent of a URL.
Thanks to Masaki Hara (https://github.com/qnighy) of Wantedly.
This is CVE-2026-25679 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/77578.
- os: FileInfo can escape from a Root
On Unix platforms, when listing the contents of a directory using
File.ReadDir or File.Readdir the returned FileInfo could reference
a file outside of the Root in which the File was opened.
The contents of the FileInfo were populated using the lstat system
call, which takes the path to the file as a parameter. If a component
of the full path of the file described by the FileInfo is replaced with
a symbolic link, the target of the lstat can be directed to another
location on the filesystem.
The impact of this escape is limited to reading metadata provided by
lstat from arbitrary locations on the filesystem. This could be used
to probe for the presence or absence of files as well as gleaning
metadata like file sizes, but does not permit reading or writing files
outside the root.
The FileInfo is now populated using fstatat.

This releases includes 6 security fixes following the security policy:
- archive/zip: denial of service when parsing arbitrary ZIP archives
archive/zip used a super-linear file name indexing algorithm that is invoked the first time a file in an archive is opened. This can lead to a denial of service when consuming a maliciously constructed ZIP archive.
Thanks to Thanks to Jakub Ciolek for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2025-61728 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/77102.
- net/http: memory exhaustion in Request.ParseForm
When parsing a URL-encoded form net/http may allocate an unexpected amount of
memory when provided a large number of key-value pairs. This can result in a
denial of service due to memory exhaustion.
Thanks to jub0bs for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2025-61726 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/77101.
- crypto/tls: Config.Clone copies automatically generated session ticket keys, session resumption does not account for the expiration of full certificate chain
The Config.Clone methods allows cloning a Config which has already been passed
to a TLS function, allowing it to be mutated and reused.
If Config.SessionTicketKey has not been set, and Config.SetSessionTicketKeys has
not been called, crypto/tls will generate random session ticket keys and
automatically rotate them. Config.Clone would copy these automatically generated
keys into the returned Config, meaning that the two Configs would share session
ticket keys, allowing sessions created using one Config could be used to resume
sessions with the other Config. This can allow clients to resume sessions even
though the Config may be configured such that they should not be able to do so.
Config.Clone no longer copies the automatically generated session ticket keys.
Config.Clone still copies keys which are explicitly provided, either by setting
Config.SessionTicketKey or by calling Config.SetSessionTicketKeys.
This issue was discoverd by the Go Security team while investigating another
issue reported by Coia Prant (github.com/rbqvq).
Additionally, on the server side only the expiration of the leaf certificate, if
one was provided during the initial handshake, was checked when considering if a
session could be resumed. This allowed sessions to be resumed if an intermediate
or root certificate in the chain had expired.
Session resumption now takes into account of the full chain when determining if
the session can be resumed.
Thanks to Coia Prant (github.com/rbqvq) for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2025-68121 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/77113.
- cmd/go: bypass of flag sanitization can lead to arbitrary code execution
Usage of 'CgoPkgConfig' allowed execution of the pkg-config
binary with flags that are not explicitly safe-listed.
To prevent this behavior, compiler flags resulting from usage
of 'CgoPkgConfig' are sanitized prior to invoking pkg-config.
Thank you to RyotaK (https://ryotak.net) of GMO Flatt Security Inc.
for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2025-61731 and go.dev/issue/77100.
- cmd/go: unexpected code execution when invoking toolchain
The Go toolchain supports multiple VCS which are used retrieving modules and
embedding build information into binaries.
On systems with Mercurial installed (hg) downloading modules (e.g. via go get or
go mod download) from non-standard sources (e.g. custom domains) can cause
unexpected code execution due to how external VCS commands are constructed.
On systems with Git installed, downloading and building modules with malicious
version strings could allow an attacker to write to arbitrary files on the
system the user has access to. This can only be triggered by explicitly
providing the malicious version strings to the toolchain, and does not affect
usage of @latest or bare module paths.
The toolchain now uses safer VCS options to prevent misinterpretation of
untrusted inputs. In addition, the toolchain now disallows module version
strings prefixed with a "-" or "/" character.
Thanks to splitline (@splitline) from DEVCORE Research Team for reporting this
issue.
This is CVE-2025-68119 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/77099.
- crypto/tls: handshake messages may be processed at the incorrect encryption level
During the TLS 1.3 handshake if multiple messages are sent in records that span
encryption level boundaries (for instance the Client Hello and Encrypted
Extensions messages), the subsequent messages may be processed before the
encryption level changes. This can cause some minor information disclosure if a
network-local attacker can inject messages during the handshake.
Thanks to Coia Prant (github.com/rbqvq) for reporting this issue.

This minor release includes 10 security fixes following the security policy:
- net/mail: excessive CPU consumption in ParseAddress
The ParseAddress function constructed domain-literal address components through repeated string concatenation. When parsing large domain-literal components, this could cause excessive CPU consumption.
Thanks to Philippe Antoine (Catena cyber) for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2025-61725 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/75680.
- crypto/x509: quadratic complexity when checking name constraints
Due to the design of the name constraint checking algorithm, the processing time
of some inputs scales non-linearly with respect to the size of the certificate.
This affects programs which validate arbitrary certificate chains.
Thanks to Jakub Ciolek for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2025-58187 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/75681.
- crypto/tls: ALPN negotiation errors can contain arbitrary text
The crypto/tls conn.Handshake method returns an error on the server-side when
ALPN negotation fails which can contain arbitrary attacker controlled
information provided by the client-side of the connection which is not escaped.
This affects programs which log these errors without any additional form of
sanitization, and may allow injection of attacker controlled information into
logs.
Thanks to National Cyber Security Centre Finland for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2025-58189 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/75652.
- encoding/pem: quadratic complexity when parsing some invalid inputs
Due to the design of the PEM parsing function, the processing time for some
inputs scales non-linearly with respect to the size of the input.
This affects programs which parse untrusted PEM inputs.
Thanks to Jakub Ciolek for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2025-61723 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/75676.
- net/url: insufficient validation of bracketed IPv6 hostnames
The Parse function permitted values other than IPv6 addresses to be included in square brackets within the host component of a URL. RFC 3986 permits IPv6 addresses to be included within the host component, enclosed within square brackets. For example: "http://[::1]/". IPv4 addresses and hostnames must not appear within square brackets. Parse did not enforce this requirement.
Thanks to Enze Wang, Jingcheng Yang and Zehui Miao of Tsinghua University for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2025-47912 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/75678.
- encoding/asn1: pre-allocating memory when parsing DER payload can cause memory exhaustion
When parsing DER payloads, memories were being allocated prior to fully validating the payloads.
This permits an attacker to craft a big empty DER payload to cause memory exhaustion in functions such as asn1.Unmarshal, x509.ParseCertificateRequest, and ocsp.ParseResponse.
Thanks to Jakub Ciolek for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2025-58185 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/75671.
- net/http: lack of limit when parsing cookies can cause memory exhaustion
Despite HTTP headers having a default limit of 1 MB, the number of cookies that can be parsed did not have a limit.
By sending a lot of very small cookies such as "a=;", an attacker can make an HTTP server allocate a large amount of structs, causing large memory consumption.
net/http now limits the number of cookies accepted to 3000, which can be adjusted using the httpcookiemaxnum GODEBUG option.
Thanks to jub0bs for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2025-58186 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/75672.
- crypto/x509: panic when validating certificates with DSA public keys
Validating certificate chains which contain DSA public keys can cause programs
to panic, due to a interface cast that assumes they implement the Equal method.
This affects programs which validate arbitrary certificate chains.
Thanks to Jakub Ciolek for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2025-58188 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/75675.
- archive/tar: unbounded allocation when parsing GNU sparse map
tar.Reader did not set a maximum size on the number of sparse region data blocks in GNU tar pax 1.0 sparse files. A maliciously-crafted archive containing a large number of sparse regions could cause a Reader to read an unbounded amount of data from the archive into memory. When reading from a compressed source, a small compressed input could result in large allocations.
Thanks to Harshit Gupta (Mr HAX) - https://www.linkedin.com/in/iam-harshit-gupta/ for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2025-58183 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/75677.
- net/textproto: excessive CPU consumption in Reader.ReadResponse
The Reader.ReadResponse function constructed a response string through
repeated string concatenation of lines. When the number of lines in a response is large,
this could cause excessive CPU consumption.
Thanks to Jakub Ciolek for reporting this issue.

Prior to v0.9.0, the osxkeychain creds helper was adding the `atyp`
attribute (ie. authentication type) to its credentials. It was also
specifying this attribute when querying the keychain for credentials.
Since v0.9.0, we don't set this attribute anymore. So, if a credential
is stored with v0.9.0+ and then queried with a v0.8.2 helper, the
atyp attribute will be missing and the credential won't be found.

Commit 4cdcdc2 changed the format of `list` output. Before that commit,
the json keys were containing full URIs (scheme://host/path[:port]),
but afterward, the keys were only containing the path component.
With this commit, the `list` operation now returns full URIs (fixing the
regression), and also fixes the malformed URIs issue when a port is
specified (introduced by 19ec1c3, and affecting >=v0.4.2,<v0.9.0).
