summary: Arbitrary code execution via the go command with cgo in cmd/go
description: |-
    The go command may execute arbitrary code at build time when cgo is in use. This
    may occur when running go get on a malicious package, or any other command that
    builds untrusted code.

    This can be caused by malicious gcc flags specified via a cgo directive.
