{"id":"CVE-2018-16874","details":"In Go before 1.10.6 and 1.11.x before 1.11.3, the \"go get\" command is vulnerable to directory traversal when executed with the import path of a malicious Go package which contains curly braces (both '{' and '}' characters). Specifically, it is only vulnerable in GOPATH mode, but not in module mode (the distinction is documented at https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-Module_aware_go_get). The attacker can cause an arbitrary filesystem write, which can lead to code execution.","aliases":["GO-2022-0190"],"modified":"2026-04-16T04:31:27.880901571Z","published":"2018-12-14T14:29:00.427Z","related":["SUSE-SU-2018:4297-1","SUSE-SU-2019:0048-1","SUSE-SU-2019:0048-2","SUSE-SU-2019:0286-1","SUSE-SU-2019:0495-1","SUSE-SU-2019:0573-1","SUSE-SU-2019:1234-1","SUSE-SU-2019:1234-2","SUSE-SU-2019:1264-1","SUSE-SU-2021:1458-1","SUSE-SU-2024:3656-1","SUSE-SU-2025:03540-1","SUSE-SU-2025:03545-1","openSUSE-SU-2019:0170-1","openSUSE-SU-2019:0189-1","openSUSE-SU-2019:0208-1","openSUSE-SU-2019:0295-1","openSUSE-SU-2019:1444-1","openSUSE-SU-2019:1499-1","openSUSE-SU-2019:1506-1","openSUSE-SU-2019:1703-1","openSUSE-SU-2020:0554-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:10693-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:10699-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:10722-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:10741-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:10761-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:10802-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:10803-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:10804-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:10805-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:10841-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:10842-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:11358-1","openSUSE-SU-2025:15589-1","openSUSE-SU-2025:15779-1"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://groups.google.com/forum/?pli=1#%21topic/golang-announce/Kw31K8G7Fi0"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2019-05/msg00060.html"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2019-06/msg00011.html"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2019-06/msg00015.html"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2019-07/msg00010.html"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/106228"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2021/03/msg00014.html"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2021/03/msg00015.html"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/201812-09"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2019-03/msg00044.html"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2020-04/msg00041.html"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2018-16874"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/golang/go","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"25ca8f49c3fc4a68daff7a23ab613e3453be5cda"},{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"90c896448691b5edb0ab11110f37234f63cd28ed"}],"database_specific":{"versions":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.10.6"},{"introduced":"1.11.0"},{"fixed":"1.11.3"}]}}],"versions":["go1.10","go1.10.1","go1.10.2","go1.10.3","go1.10.4","go1.10.5","go1.10beta1","go1.10beta2","go1.10rc1","go1.10rc2","go1.11","go1.11.1","go1.11.2","go1.11beta1","go1.11beta2","go1.11beta3","go1.11rc1","go1.11rc2","go1.3beta1","go1.3beta2","go1.4beta1","go1.5beta1","go1.5beta2","go1.5beta3","go1.6beta1","go1.6beta2","go1.7beta1","go1.7beta2","go1.7rc1","go1.7rc2","go1.7rc3","go1.7rc4","go1.8beta1","go1.8beta2","go1.9beta1","go1.9beta2","release.r56","weekly","weekly.2009-11-06","weekly.2009-11-10","weekly.2009-11-10.1","weekly.2009-11-12","weekly.2009-11-17","weekly.2009-12-07","weekly.2009-12-09","weekly.2009-12-22","weekly.2010-01-05","weekly.2010-01-13","weekly.2010-01-27","weekly.2010-02-04","weekly.2010-02-17","weekly.2010-02-23","weekly.2010-03-04","weekly.2010-03-15","weekly.2010-03-22","weekly.2010-03-30","weekly.2010-04-13","weekly.2010-04-27","weekly.2010-05-04","weekly.2010-05-27","weekly.2010-06-09","weekly.2010-06-21","weekly.2010-07-01","weekly.2010-07-14","weekly.2010-07-29","weekly.2010-08-04","weekly.2010-08-11","weekly.2010-08-25","weekly.2010-09-06","weekly.2010-09-15","weekly.2010-09-22","weekly.2010-09-29","weekly.2010-10-13","weekly.2010-10-13.1","weekly.2010-10-20","weekly.2010-10-27","weekly.2010-11-02","weekly.2010-11-10","weekly.2010-11-23","weekly.2010-12-02","weekly.2010-12-08","weekly.2010-12-15","weekly.2010-12-15.1","weekly.2010-12-22","weekly.2011-01-06","weekly.2011-01-12","weekly.2011-01-19","weekly.2011-01-20","weekly.2011-02-01","weekly.2011-02-01.1","weekly.2011-02-15","weekly.2011-02-24","weekly.2011-03-07","weekly.2011-03-07.1","weekly.2011-03-15","weekly.2011-03-28","weekly.2011-04-04","weekly.2011-04-13","weekly.2011-04-27","weekly.2011-05-22","weekly.2011-06-02","weekly.2011-06-09","weekly.2011-06-16","weekly.2011-06-23","weekly.2011-07-07","weekly.2011-07-19","weekly.2011-07-29","weekly.2011-08-10","weekly.2011-08-17","weekly.2011-09-01","weekly.2011-09-07","weekly.2011-09-16","weekly.2011-09-21","weekly.2011-10-06","weekly.2011-10-18","weekly.2011-10-25","weekly.2011-10-26","weekly.2011-11-01","weekly.2011-11-02","weekly.2011-11-08","weekly.2011-11-09","weekly.2011-11-18","weekly.2011-12-01","weekly.2011-12-02","weekly.2011-12-06","weekly.2011-12-14","weekly.2011-12-22","weekly.2012-01-15","weekly.2012-01-20","weekly.2012-01-27","weekly.2012-02-07","weekly.2012-02-14","weekly.2012-02-22","weekly.2012-03-04","weekly.2012-03-13","weekly.2012-03-22","weekly.2012-03-27"],"databa
