- CWE: CWE-125 (Out-of-bounds Read)
- Description: SSH Agent servers do not validate message sizes when processing new identity requests, potentially causing panic from malformed messages due to out-of-bounds read.
- Fixed Version: 0.45.0
- Fix Commit: https://go.dev/cl/721960
CVE-2025-58181 (GHSA-j5w8-q4qc-rx2x)
- Severity: MODERATE
- CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L

2. github.com/jackc/pgx/v5 v5.7.1 - HIGH SEVERITY
Status: VULNERABLE - SQL Injection
CVE-2024-27289 (GO-2024-2605)
- Severity: HIGH
- Aliases: GHSA-m7wr-2xf7-cm9p
- Description: SQL injection is possible when the database uses the non-default simple protocol. A minus sign directly preceding a numeric placeholder followed by a string placeholder on the same line, with both parameter values user-controlled, enables injection.
- Fixed Version: 5.5.4
- Fix Commit:
f94eb0e2f9
CVE-2024-27304 (GO-2024-2606)
- Severity: HIGH
- Aliases: GHSA-mrww-27vc-gghv, GHSA-7jwh-3vrq-q3m8

- Fixed Version: 5.5.4
- Fix Commits:
Remediation:
go get github.com/jackc/pgx/v5@latest
Recommended Version: v5.7.4 or later
Risk Assessment:
- If the application accepts large user inputs that may be used in SQL queries, this vulnerability is CRITICAL
- If using the simple query protocol, the SQL injection risk is elevated

Risk Assessment Summary
Exploitability Analysis
| Vulnerability | Exploit Complexity | Attack Vector | Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2025-22869 (crypto DoS) | Low | Network | Service Disruption |
| CVE-2024-27289 (pgx SQLi) | Medium | Network | Data Breach |
| CVE-2024-27304 (pgx overflow) | High | Network | Data Breach |
| CVE-2025-22870 (net proxy) | Low | Local | Policy Bypass |
| CVE-2025-22872 (net XSS) | Medium | Network | Data Theft |
Business Impact
- Data Integrity: HIGH RISK - SQL injection vulnerabilities could compromise database integrity
- Availability: HIGH RISK - DoS vulnerabilities could impact service uptime
- Confidentiality: MEDIUM RISK - XSS and proxy bypass could expose sensitive data
Tools Used
- OSV Database API (https://api.osv.dev) - Primary vulnerability source
- govulncheck - Go vulnerability scanner (attempted, version conflict)
