| description: | |
| An input validation flaw in the CGI components allows the HTTP_PROXY |
| environment variable to be set by the incoming Proxy header, which changes |
| where Go by default proxies all outbound HTTP requests. |
| |
| This environment variable is also used to set the outgoing proxy, enabling |
| an attacker to insert a proxy into outgoing requests of a CGI program. |
