This release includes 3 security fixes following the security policy:
- net/http: sensitive headers not cleared on cross-origin redirect
Proxy-Authorization and Proxy-Authenticate headers persisted on cross-origin redirects potentially leaking sensitive information.
Thanks to Takeshi Kaneko (GMO Cybersecurity by Ierae, Inc.) for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2025-4673 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/73816.
- os: inconsistent handling of O_CREATE|O_EXCL on Unix and Windows
os.OpenFile(path, os.O_CREATE|O_EXCL) behaved differently on Unix and Windows systems when the target path was a dangling symlink. On Unix systems, OpenFile with O_CREATE and O_EXCL flags never follows symlinks. On Windows, when the target path was a symlink to a nonexistent location, OpenFile would create a file in that location.
OpenFile now always returns an error when the O_CREATE and O_EXCL flags are both set and the target path is a symlink.
Thanks to Junyoung Park and Dong-uk Kim of KAIST Hacking Lab for discovering this issue.
This is CVE-2025-0913 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/73702.
- crypto/x509: usage of ExtKeyUsageAny disables policy validation
Calling Verify with a VerifyOptions.KeyUsages that contains ExtKeyUsageAny unintentionally disabledpolicy validation. This only affected certificate chains which contain policy graphs, which are rather uncommon.
Thanks to Krzysztof Skrzętnicki (@Tener) of Teleport for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2025-22874 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/73612.
