CVE-2025-22869 (GHSA-hcg3-q754-cr77)

  • Severity: HIGH (CVSS: 7.5)
  • CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
  • CWE: CWE-770 (Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling)
  • Description: SSH servers implementing file transfer protocols are vulnerable to denial of service from clients that complete key exchange slowly or not at all, causing pending content to be read into memory but never transmitted.

  • 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
  • Description: Integer overflow in calculated message size of query or bind message allows a single large message to be sent as multiple attacker-controlled messages. This can lead to SQL injection if a query or bind message exceeds 4 GB in size.
  • 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

  • Fixed Version: 0.36.0
  • Fix Commit: https://go.dev/cl/654697

CVE-2025-22872 (GHSA-vvgc-356p-c3xw)

  • Fix Commit: https://go.dev/cl/709876

CVE-2025-58190 (GO-2026-4441)

  • Severity: MODERATE
  • Description: Infinite parsing loop in html.Parse when processing certain inputs, leading to denial of service.
  • Fixed Version: 0.45.0

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

  1. OSV Database API (https://api.osv.dev) - Primary vulnerability source
  2. govulncheck - Go vulnerability scanner (attempted, version conflict)
  3. Manual go.sum analysis - Checksum verification
