CVE-2023-39318  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-79  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:9 golang-src to version 0:1.20.10-1.el9_3 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHBA-2023:6364.

NVD Description

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

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.
