CVE-2020-24553  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-79  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Debian:9 golang-1.8.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream golang-1.8 package and not the golang-1.8 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

Go before 1.14.8 and 1.15.x before 1.15.1 allows XSS because text/html is the default for CGI/FCGI handlers that lack a Content-Type header.
