CWE-113  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Amazon-Linux:2 golang to version 0:1.20.6-1.amzn2.0.1 or higher.
This issue was patched in ALAS2-2023-2186.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream golang package and not the golang package as distributed by Amazon-Linux. See How to fix? for Amazon-Linux:2 relevant fixed versions and status.

The HTTP/1 client does not fully validate the contents of the Host header. A maliciously crafted Host header can inject additional headers or entire requests. With fix, the HTTP/1 client now refuses to send requests containing an invalid Request.Host or Request.URL.Host value.
