GO-2026-6179

Fix transparency log tile verification bypass in golang.org/x/mod/sumdb/tlog

Quick fix

GO-2026-6179 — toolchain: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

go get toolchain@v1.25.13

Details

A malicious GOPROXY was previously capable of forging up to two sumdb tiles that allow for a requested module to bypass the GOSUMDB check and persist attacker-controlled module content to a local Go module cache.

This attack allows for a malicious GOPROXY to serve malicious module content that cannot be detected by evaluating the transparency log.

All tiles are now correctly verified against their parents.

In order to determine if you have been affected:

rm -r go.sum go.work.sum vendor/ && go mod tidy
