Log injection via unquoted ALPN protocols
Published Oct 29, 2025 · Updated Oct 29, 2025
Log injection in Go standard library crypto/tls before 1.24.8 and 1.25.0 through 1.25.1 allows remote attackers to forge log content. The server-side negotiateALPN function formats the client protocol list with an unquoted %s conversion when Conn.Handshake rejects ALPN negotiation. Exploitation requires a program to log the returned handshake error without additional sanitization, allowing crafted protocol text to enter its logs.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=0 <1.24.8
- Affected versionversion=1.25.0 <1.25.2
