Outdated and vulnerable dependency golang:text #344

Closed burise closed 3 years ago

burise commented 3 years ago

Currently, the project has a dependency to golang.org/x/text v0.3.0, which is outdated and should be updated:

CVE-2020-14040 Summary: The x/text package before 0.3.3 for Go has a vulnerability in encoding/unicode that could lead to the UTF-16 decoder entering an infinite loop, causing the program to crash or run out of memory. An attacker could provide a single byte to a UTF16 decoder instantiated with UseBOM or ExpectBOM to trigger an infinite loop if the String function on the Decoder is called, or the Decoder is passed to golang.org/x/text/transform.String. Base Score: 7.5 High Link: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2020-14040
