# CVE-2025-68119: Unexpected code execution when invoking toolchain in cmd/go CVE-2025-68119 is fixed in 15 products on 2 platforms, first by Go Programming Language 1.25.6, released January 15, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High. - Web page: https://patchblox.com/security/cve/CVE-2025-68119 - Priority: High - CVSS: 7.0 (important) - EPSS: 0.0038 - CISA KEV: not listed - Exploited (vendor report): no - Publicly disclosed: no - Published: Jan 22, 2026 - Weakness: CWE-78: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') - Vendor advisory: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-68119 ## Description Downloading and building modules with malicious version strings can cause local code execution. On systems with Mercurial (hg) installed, downloading modules from non-standard sources (e.g., custom domains) can cause unexpected code execution due to how external VCS commands are constructed. This issue can also be triggered by providing a malicious version string to the toolchain. On systems with Git installed, downloading and building modules with malicious version strings can allow an attacker to write to arbitrary files on the filesystem. This can only be triggered by explicitly providing the malicious version strings to the toolchain and does not affect usage of @latest or bare module paths. ## Where it's fixed | Platform | Product |
