CVE-2020-24553

A flaw was found in the Go standard library packages before upstream versions 1.15 and 1.14.8. Both the net/http/cgi and net/http/fcgi packages use a default Content-Type response header value of "text/html", rather than "text/plain". This flaw allows an attacker to exploit this issue in applications using these packages by uploading crafted files, allowing a Cross-site Scripting attack (XSS). The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality and integrity.

Multiple components in the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform are built with Go and use net/http, however, none include the specific vulnerable packages net/http/cgi and net/http/fcgi. Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is not affected by this flaw.
