CVE-2026-94444

Checksum bypass for golang.org/fips140 in cmd/go

Published Oct 8, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 7.8 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Previously, a user operating inside of a malicious Go project that defines a bogus golang.org/fips140 and operates a malicious GOMODPROXY the user chooses to connect to can serve an arbitrary module in its place. We now unpack the trusted ziphash for the bundled golang.org/fips140 module and construct its entry in the GOMODCACHE such that it can be verified by the toolchain.
