Golang Org X Net Idna
Monthly
Privilege escalation in Go's golang.org/x/net/idna package (all versions before 0.55.0) stems from ToASCII and ToUnicode accepting Punycode labels that decode to an ASCII-only label, so ToUnicode("xn--example-.com") returns "example.com" instead of an error. Applications that perform authorization checks on an ASCII hostname and then convert it to Unicode can be tricked into permitting a name that the direct check would have rejected. This is a library-level flaw (CVSS 9.6, scope-changed) reported by the Go team; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is very low (0.04%, 14th percentile).
