CVE-2020-29510 - Vulnerability Details - OpenCVE

ReportizFlow

The encoding/xml package in Go versions 1.15 and earlier does not correctly preserve the semantics of directives during tokenization round-trips, which allows an attacker to craft inputs that behave in conflicting ways during different stages of processing in affected downstream applications.
