NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream go1.26-openssl-race package and not the go1.26-openssl-race package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.5 relevant fixed versions and status.

Actions which insert URLs into the content attribute of HTML meta tags are not escaped. This can allow XSS if the meta tag also has an http-equiv attribute with the value "refresh". A new GODEBUG setting has been added, htmlmetacontenturlescape, which can be used to disable escaping URLs in actions in the meta content attribute which follow "url=" by setting htmlmetacontenturlescape=0.
