CVE-2025-4674

Command execution via ambiguous VCS metadata resolution

Published Jul 29, 2025 · Updated Nov 4, 2025

Command execution in Google Cloud Go command before 1.23.11 and 1.24.0 through 1.24.4 allows attackers to run commands via untrusted VCS repositories. The toolchain's VCS status resolver searches repository roots to embed build metadata and invokes the selected VCS without rejecting multiple or nested VCS metadata directories. A user must run the toolchain inside a repository fetched by another VCS; modules retrieved through go get are unaffected.
