An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2019-11888 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Golang Go. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-11888/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-11888/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-11888","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-11888/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-11888","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8g7j-8p7x-qq3c"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Go runtime Windows","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can gain privileges or read sensitive information on Windows due to mishandled process creation with nil environment and non-nil token.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"go","vendor":"golang"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"Go through 1.12.5 on Windows mishandles process creation with a nil environment in conjunction with a non-nil token, which allows attackers to obtain sensitive information or gain privileges.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-11888","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"golang:go","products":["golang:go"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2019"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-11889"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-11887"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2019-05-13","related":[{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Microsoft Windows CryptoAPI Spoofing","id":"CVE-2020-0601","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2020-01-14"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Missing bound checks can lead to memory corruption in safe Go in cmd/compile","id":"CVE-2026-27143","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-08"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Unexpected behavior from Is methods for IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses in net/netip","id":"CVE-2024-24790","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-05"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Arbitrary code execution via go.mod toolchain directive in cmd/go","id":"CVE-2023-39320","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-09-08"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Improper handling of JavaScript whitespace in html/template","id":"CVE-2023-24540","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-05-11"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Backticks not treated as string delimiters in html/template","id":"CVE-2023-24538","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-04-06"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Other in go/golang","id":"CVE-2012-2666","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-07-09"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-04","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can gain privileges or read sensitive information on Windows due to mishandled process creation with nil environment and non-nil token.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-11888/"}
