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

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:20.10 golang-1.14 to version 1.14.7-2ubuntu1.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream golang-1.14 package and not the golang-1.14 package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:20.10 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.
