CVE-2023-39319  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-79  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:8 golang to version 0:1.20.10-1.module+el8.9.0+20382+04f7fe80 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream golang package and not the golang package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The html/template package does not apply the proper rules for handling occurrences of "<script", "<!--", and "</script" within JS literals in <script> contexts. This may cause the template parser to improperly consider script contexts to be terminated early, causing actions to be improperly escaped. This could be leveraged to perform an XSS attack.
