CVE-2023-24531 Information

Description

Command go env is documented as outputting a shell script containing the Go environment. However go env doesn’t sanitize values so executing its output as a shell script can cause various bad bahaviors including executing arbitrary commands or inserting new environment variables. This issue is relatively minor because in general if an attacker can set arbitrary environment variables on a system they have better attack vectors than making \go env\ print them out.
