CVE-2022-41716
Public on 2022-11-02
Modified on 2023-01-18
Description
Due to unsanitized NUL values, attackers may be able to maliciously set environment variables on Windows. In syscall.StartProcess and os/exec.Cmd, invalid environment variable values containing NUL values are not properly checked for. A malicious environment variable value can exploit this behavior to set a value for a different environment variable. For example, the environment variable string A=Bx00C=D sets the variables A=B and C=D.
