GO-2023-2041

Improper handling of HTML-like comments in script contexts in html/template

Quick fix

GO-2023-2041 — stdlib: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

go get stdlib@v1.20.8

Details

The html/template package does not properly handle HTML-like "" comment tokens, nor hashbang "#!" comment tokens, in <script> contexts. This may cause the template parser to improperly interpret the contents of <script> contexts, causing actions to be improperly escaped. This may be leveraged to perform an XSS attack.
