8.8 HIGH

Published 2026-09-25 · Updated 2026-09-29

AI risk analysis

Summary
The flaw allows a malicious txtar to escape the intended execution context and perform arbitrary writes, potentially leading to remote code execution.
Exploitability
Exploitation requires a malicious txtar and the ability to invoke go vet with specific environment configurations. The exploit is moderately complex.
Blast radius
If exploited, this could lead to remote code execution on the playground host, impacting independent deployments of golang.org/x/playground.
Detection
No reliable host or network indicator is derivable from the published description.
Prioritized remediation
Disable the affected feature or restrict access to the go vet invocation endpoint.

NVD description

A malicious txtar could escape the intended execution context and force arbitrary writes to the playground host's trusted filesystem. Disjointly, one of the three possible paths to invoke go vet on the playground host did not correctly restrict the execution environment. This permitted a Go process to make a read for an environment configuration file rooted in the playground host's $HOME. Together, a well-crafted go env file and the go vet invocation could lead to remote code execution in the playground host itself. This does not affect users of go.dev/play directly; however, it may affect independent deployments of golang.org/x/playground.
