CVE-2016-5386

Go: sets environmental variable based on user supplied Proxy request header

Published Jul 19, 2016 CVSS 3.1 · 8.1 High EPSS 5.2% KEV · Not listed
Description
The net/http package in Go through 1.6 does not attempt to address RFC 3875 section 4.1.18 namespace conflicts and therefore does not protect CGI applications from the presence of untrusted client data in the HTTP_PROXY environment variable, which might allow remote attackers to redirect a CGI application's outbound HTTP traffic to an arbitrary proxy server via a crafted Proxy header in an HTTP request, aka an "httpoxy" issue.
