CVE-2023-45289: 
cAdvisor vulnerability analysis and mitigation

CVE-2023-45289 is a vulnerability discovered in Go's net/http and net/http/cookiejar standard library packages. The vulnerability was disclosed on March 5, 2024, affecting Go versions prior to 1.21.8 and versions from 1.22.0-0 before 1.22.1. The issue involves incorrect handling of sensitive headers during HTTP redirects (Go Packages, Golang Announce).

When following an HTTP redirect to a domain that is not a subdomain match or exact match of the initial domain, an http.Client does not forward sensitive headers such as 'Authorization' or 'Cookie' correctly. For example, a redirect from foo.com to www.foo.com will forward the Authorization header, but a redirect to bar.com will not. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 4.3 (Medium) by CISA-ADP with vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N (NVD).

The vulnerability could lead to disclosure of sensitive information through maliciously crafted HTTP redirects. When exploited, sensitive headers could be unexpectedly forwarded to unintended domains, potentially exposing authorization tokens, cookies, and other sensitive data (Red Hat, NetApp Security).

The vulnerability has been fixed in Go versions 1.21.8 and 1.22.1. Users are advised to upgrade to these patched versions. The fix involves correcting the behavior of subdomain matching during HTTP redirects (Go Issue, Go Packages).
