# CVE-2022-32190: Failure to strip relative path components in net/url > The Go net/url library fails to strip relative path components, potentially allowing path traversal in applications using JoinPath. - **Severity:** High 7.5 (`CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N`) - **Exploited in the wild:** Not known - **Login needed:** Not needed - **Attackable:** Over the internet - **Victim action needed:** Not needed - **Fix available:** Yes - **Published:** 13 Sep 2022 - **Updated:** 3 Aug 2024 - **Also known as:** BIT-golang-2022-32190, DEBIAN-CVE-2022-32190, GHSA-q856-gh5w-3vwg, GO-2022-0988, RHBA-2023:0568 ## What is CVE-2022-32190? CVE-2022-32190 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in Golang Go, published on 13 Sep 2022. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim. ### Official description JoinPath and URL.JoinPath do not remove ../ path elements appended to a relative path. For example, JoinPath("https://go.dev", "../go") returns the URL "https://go.dev/../go", despite the JoinPath documentation stating that ../ path elements are removed from the result.

What it is: CVE-2022-32190 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in Golang Go, published on 13 Sep 2022. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim. Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-32190 in the wild and no public exploit code. Affected packages and fixed versions: - golang (Bitnami): affected from 1.19.0-0; fixed in 1.19.1 - stdlib (Go): affected from 1.19.0-0; fixed in 1.19.1 Task: 1. 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. 2. 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. 3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead. 4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why. 5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
