NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream go package and not the go package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.16 relevant fixed versions and status.

Go before 1.14.14 and 1.15.x before 1.15.7 on Windows is vulnerable to Command Injection and remote code execution when using the "go get" command to fetch modules that make use of cgo (for example, cgo can execute a gcc program from an untrusted download).
