CVE-2026-42503
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
gopls by default communicates via pipe. However, -port and -listen flags are supported as means of debugging. If -listen is given a value without an explicit host (e.g. :8080), or -port is used, gopls will listen on 0.0.0.0. As a result, users might inadvertently cause gopls to bind 0.0.0.0. This can allow a malicious party on the same network to execute code arbitrarily via gopls.

Sin embargo, las banderas -puerto y -listen son compatibles como medios de depuración.\nSi a -listen se le da un valor sin un host explícito (p. ej. :8080), o se usa -puerto, gopls escuchará en 0.0.0.0.\nComo resultado, los usuarios podrían inadvertidamente causar que gopls se enlace a 0.0.0.0.\nEsto puede permitir a una parte maliciosa en la misma red ejecutar código arbitrariamente a través de gopls."
