- cmd/go: unexpected command execution in untrusted VCS repositories

    Various uses of the Go toolchain in untrusted VCS repositories can result in
    unexpected code execution. When using the Go toolchain in directories fetched
    using various VCS tools (such as directly cloning Git or Mercurial repositories)
    can cause the toolchain to execute unexpected commands, if said directory
    contains multiple VCS configuration metadata (such as a '.hg' directory in a Git
    repository). This is due to how the Go toolchain attempts to resolve which VCS
    is being used in order to embed build information in binaries and determine
    module versions.

    The toolchain will now abort attempting to resolve which VCS is being used if it
    detects multiple VCS configuration metadata in a module directory or nested VCS
    configuration metadata (such as a '.git' directoy in a parent directory and a
    '.hg' directory in a child directory). This will not prevent the toolchain from
    building modules, but will result in binaries omitting VCS related build
    information.

    If this behavior is expected by the user, the old behavior can be re-enabled by
    setting GODEBUG=allowmultiplevcs=1. This should only be done in trusted
    repositories.

    this issue.

    This is CVE-2025-4674 and https://go.dev/issue/74380.
