Go crypto/x509 VerifyHostname DNS SAN quadratic overhead
CVE-2026-27145 7.5 - High - June 02, 2026

(*x509.Certificate).VerifyHostname previously called matchHostnames in a loop over all DNS Subject Alternative Name (SAN) entries. This caused strings.Split(host, ".") to execute repeatedly on the same input hostname. With a large DNS SAN list, verification costs scaled quadratically based on the number of SAN entries multiplied by the hostname's label count. Because x509.Verify validates hostnames before building the certificate chain, this overhead occurred even for untrusted certificates.

Unchecked Input for Loop Condition

golang.org/x/net/idna pre-0.55.0 IDN bug allows silent ASCII/Unicode mix
CVE-2026-39821 8.2 - High - May 22, 2026

The ToASCII and ToUnicode functions incorrectly accept Punycode-encoded labels that decode to an ASCII-only label. For example, ToUnicode("xn--example-.com") incorrectly returns the name "example.com" rather than an error. This behavior can lead to privilege escalation in programs using the idna package. For example, a program which performs privilege checks on the ASCII hostname may reject "example.com" but permit "xn--example-.com". If that program subsequently converts the ASCII hostname to Unicode, it will inadvertently permits access to the Unicode name "example.com".

Improper Validation of Unsafe Equivalence in Input

Auth Bypass in golang.org/x/crypto/ssh <0.52.0
CVE-2026-46595 7.1 - High - May 22, 2026

Previously, CVE-2024-45337 fixed an authorization bypass for misused ssh server configurations; if any other type of callback is passed other than public key, then the source-address validation would be skipped.

golang.org/x/crypto/ssh: CertChecker nil callback panic <0.52.0
CVE-2026-39835 7.5 - High - May 22, 2026

SSH servers which use CertChecker as a public key callback without setting IsUserAuthority or IsHostAuthority could be caused to panic by a client presenting a certificate. CertChecker now returns an error instead of panicking when these callbacks are nil.

NULL Pointer Dereference

Resource Leak in golang.org/x/crypto/ssh <0.52.0 via Global Request Buffers
CVE-2026-39830 7.5 - High - May 22, 2026

A malicious SSH peer could send unsolicited global request responses to fill an internal buffer, blocking the connection's read loop. The blocked goroutine could not be released by calling Close(), resulting in a resource leak per connection. Unsolicited global responses are now discarded.

Missing Release of Resource after Effective Lifetime

SSH Auth PartialSuccessError Permissions Discarded (golang.org/x/crypto/ssh <0.52.0)
CVE-2026-39828 8.8 - High - May 22, 2026

When an SSH server authentication callback returned PartialSuccessError with non-nil Permissions, those permissions were silently discarded, potentially dropping certificate restrictions such as force-command after a second factor succeeded. Returning non-nil Permissions with PartialSuccessError now results in a connection error.

Improper Preservation of Permissions

go/crypto/ssh CPU DoS via oversized RSA/DSA keys before 0.52
CVE-2026-39829 7.5 - High - May 22, 2026

The RSA and DSA public key parsers did not enforce size limits on key parameters. A crafted public key with an excessively large modulus or DSA parameter could cause several minutes of CPU consumption during signature verification. This could be triggered by unauthenticated clients during public key authentication. RSA moduli are now limited to 8192 bits, and DSA parameters are validated per FIPS 186-2.

Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input

Go net/mail 1.25.x-1.26.3: ParseAddress/Date CPU/Memory Exhaustion
CVE-2026-39820 7.5 - High - May 07, 2026

Well-crafted inputs reaching ParseAddress, ParseAddressList, and ParseDate were able to trigger excessive CPU exhaustion and memory allocations.

Unchecked Input for Loop Condition

DoS via consumePhrase in Go net/mail RFC 5322 parsing <1.26.3
CVE-2026-42499 7.5 - High - May 07, 2026

Pathological inputs could cause DoS through consumePhrase when parsing an email address according to RFC 5322.

Creation of Immutable Text Using String Concatenation

Double-free CVE-2026-33811 via LookupCNAME in Go net (<=1.26.2)
CVE-2026-33811 7.5 - High - May 07, 2026

When using LookupCNAME with the cgo DNS resolver, a very long CNAME response can trigger a double-free of C memory and a crash.

Go crypto/x509 Intermediates DoS (<=1.26.2)
CVE-2026-32280 7.5 - High - April 08, 2026

During chain building, the amount of work that is done is not correctly limited when a large number of intermediate certificates are passed in VerifyOptions.Intermediates, which can lead to a denial of service. This affects both direct users of crypto/x509 and users of crypto/tls.

Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

Go crypto/tls TLS 1.3 KeyUpdate deadlock DoS (1.25.9 & <1.26.2)
CVE-2026-32283 7.5 - High - April 08, 2026

If one side of the TLS connection sends multiple key update messages post-handshake in a single record, the connection can deadlock, causing uncontrolled consumption of resources. This can lead to a denial of service. This only affects TLS 1.3.

Multiple Locks of a Critical Resource

Go 1.26.x crypto/x509 DNS Constraint Case Sensitivity
CVE-2026-33810 8.8 - High - April 08, 2026

When verifying a certificate chain containing excluded DNS constraints, these constraints are not correctly applied to wildcard DNS SANs which use a different case than the constraint. This only affects validation of otherwise trusted certificate chains, issued by a root CA in the VerifyOptions.Roots CertPool, or in the system certificate pool.

Improper Validation of Unsafe Equivalence in Input

GoJOSE JWE Decrypt Panic (DoS) Fixed v4.1.4/3.0.5
CVE-2026-34986 7.5 - High - April 06, 2026

Go JOSE provides an implementation of the Javascript Object Signing and Encryption set of standards in Go, including support for JSON Web Encryption (JWE), JSON Web Signature (JWS), and JSON Web Token (JWT) standards. Prior to 4.1.4 and 3.0.5, decrypting a JSON Web Encryption (JWE) object will panic if the alg field indicates a key wrapping algorithm (one ending in KW, with the exception of A128GCMKW, A192GCMKW, and A256GCMKW) and the encrypted_key field is empty. The panic happens when cipher.KeyUnwrap() in key_wrap.go attempts to allocate a slice with a zero or negative length based on the length of the encrypted_key. This code path is reachable from ParseEncrypted() / ParseEncryptedJSON() / ParseEncryptedCompact() followed by Decrypt() on the resulting object. Note that the parse functions take a list of accepted key algorithms. If the accepted key algorithms do not include any key wrapping algorithms, parsing will fail and the application will be unaffected. This panic is also reachable by calling cipher.KeyUnwrap() directly with any ciphertext parameter less than 16 bytes long, but calling this function directly is less common. Panics can lead to denial of service. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.1.4 and 3.0.5.

Uncaught Exception

gRPC-Go Auth Bypass (1.79.2) via noncanonical :path
CVE-2026-33186 9.1 - Critical - March 20, 2026

gRPC-Go is the Go language implementation of gRPC. Versions prior to 1.79.3 have an authorization bypass resulting from improper input validation of the HTTP/2 `:path` pseudo-header. The gRPC-Go server was too lenient in its routing logic, accepting requests where the `:path` omitted the mandatory leading slash (e.g., `Service/Method` instead of `/Service/Method`). While the server successfully routed these requests to the correct handler, authorization interceptors (including the official `grpc/authz` package) evaluated the raw, non-canonical path string. Consequently, "deny" rules defined using canonical paths (starting with `/`) failed to match the incoming request, allowing it to bypass the policy if a fallback "allow" rule was present. This affects gRPC-Go servers that use path-based authorization interceptors, such as the official RBAC implementation in `google.golang.org/grpc/authz` or custom interceptors relying on `info.FullMethod` or `grpc.Method(ctx)`; AND that have a security policy contains specific "deny" rules for canonical paths but allows other requests by default (a fallback "allow" rule). The vulnerability is exploitable by an attacker who can send raw HTTP/2 frames with malformed `:path` headers directly to the gRPC server. The fix in version 1.79.3 ensures that any request with a `:path` that does not start with a leading slash is immediately rejected with a `codes.Unimplemented` error, preventing it from reaching authorization interceptors or handlers with a non-canonical path string. While upgrading is the most secure and recommended path, users can mitigate the vulnerability using one of the following methods: Use a validating interceptor (recommended mitigation); infrastructure-level normalization; and/or policy hardening.

AuthZ

Go <1.26: crypto/x509 Email Constraint Bug
CVE-2026-27137 7.5 - High - March 06, 2026

When verifying a certificate chain which contains a certificate containing multiple email address constraints which share common local portions but different domain portions, these constraints will not be properly applied, and only the last constraint will be considered.

Improper Certificate Validation

Go net/url Host Validation Flaw in Parse (v<1.25.8, <1.26.1)
CVE-2026-25679 7.5 - High - March 06, 2026

url.Parse insufficiently validated the host/authority component and accepted some invalid URLs.

Improper Validation of Syntactic Correctness of Input

Docker CLI Windows Low-Priv PrivEsc via Malicious CLI Plugins (<=29.1.5)
CVE-2025-15558 7.3 - High - March 04, 2026

Docker CLI for Windows searches for plugin binaries in C:\ProgramData\Docker\cli-plugins, a directory that does not exist by default. A low-privileged attacker can create this directory and place malicious CLI plugin binaries (docker-compose.exe, docker-buildx.exe, etc.) that are executed when a victim user opens Docker Desktop or invokes Docker CLI plugin features, and allow privilege-escalation if the docker CLI is executed as a privileged user. This issue affects Docker CLI: through 29.1.5 and Windows binaries acting as a CLI-plugin manager using the github.com/docker/cli/cli-plugins/manager https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/docker/cli@v29.1.5+incompatible/cli-plugins/manager  package, such as Docker Compose. This issue does not impact non-Windows binaries, and projects not using the plugin-manager code.
