This release includes 10 security fixes following the security policy:
- x/mod/sumdb/tlog: fix transparency log tile verification bypass
A malicious GOPROXY was previously capable of forging
up to two sumdb tiles that allow for a requested module
to bypass the GOSUMDB check and persist attacker-controlled
module content to a local Go module cache.
This attack allows for a malicious GOPROXY to serve
malicious module content that cannot be detected
by evaluating the transparency log.
All tiles are now correctly verified against their parents.
In order to determine if you have been affected:
rm -r go.sum go.work.sum vendor/ && go mod tidy
Thanks to Filippo Valsorda (Geomys) for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2026-56865 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/80744.
- x/mod/sumdb: ignore unrelated, unauthenticated hashes in Lookup
A malicious GOSUMDB was capable of serving arbitrary
module content not contained within the transparency
log.
This attack allows for a coordinating GOPROXY and
GOSUMDB to serve a client malicious module content
that cannot be detected by evaluating the transparency
log.
In order to determine if you have been affected:
rm -r go.sum go.work.sum vendor/ && go mod tidy
Thanks to mundur for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2026-56864 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/80745.
- encoding/xml: add recursion depth guard during decode
Previously, DecodeElement would reset the depth counter
causing it to never fire; this could lead to stack
exhaustion.
This is CVE-2026-56859 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/80481.
net/http: apply ReadHeaderTimeout when doing unencrypted HTTP/2 check
When a server is configured to support unencrypted HTTP/2, it reads a
few bytes from each new connection to see if they contain the HTTP/2
client preface. Previously, this was being done with no timeout applied.
ReadHeaderTimeout is now applied for this.
This is CVE-2026-56853 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/80205.
- net/url: avoid quadratic complexity in resolvePath
Previously, resolving relative paths containing parent directory (..) segments performed string conversions and buffer rewrites on each step, resulting in quadratic time complexity and high memory allocation overhead.
Now, path resolution operates on a byte buffer using index-based backtracking for .. segments, eliminating the quadratic time complexity and significantly reducing memory allocations.
This is CVE-2026-56860 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/80494.
- golang.org/x/net/dns/dnsmessage: panic when parsing invalid SVCB record
Parsing an invalid SVCB or HTTPS RR can panic when
the size of a parameter value overflows the message buffer.
Thanks to Mundur (https://github.com/M0nd0R) for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2026-46600 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/79795.
- crypto/tls: limit handshake messages we are willing to accept post-handshake
Previously, we always counted handshake messages, such as KeyUpdate, as
state-advancing, regardless of whether a handshake has been completed or
not. As a result, a malicious client can keep sending KeyUpdate messages
to force the server to keep performing key derivation operations
indefinitely.
Thanks to Qi Deng of Aurascape.ai for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2026-56862 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/80528.
- html/template: fix Javascript regexp context tracking
Previously, pathological inputs could close an
unescaped / early, allowing for attack-controlled
data to inject arbitrary content, potentially
leading to XSS.
Thanks to Ali Sherif for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2026-56858 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/80435.
- x/net/idna: failure to reject ASCII-only Punycode-encoded labels
The ToASCII and ToUnicode functions incorrectly accepted Punycode-encoded labels
that decode to an ASCII-only label. For example, ToUnicode("xn--example-.com")
incorrectly returned the name "example.com" rather than an error.
The idna package implements the processing algorithm from UTS 46.
Older versions of UTS 46 included a specification bug which permitted
multiple ASCII labels to decode to the same Unicode label.
UTS 46 revision 33 fixed the specification bug.
The idna package now implements the updated specification.
This behavior can lead to privilege escalation in programs using the idna package.
For example, a program which performs privilege checks on the ASCII hostname
may reject "example.com" but permit "xn--example-.com". If that program subsequently
converts the ASCII hostname to Unicode, it will inadvertently permits access
to the Unicode name "example.com".

This is CVE-2026-39821 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/78760.
- encoding/asn1: enforce maximum recursion depth
Enforce a recursion limit in Unmarshal to prevent stack exhaustion
when parsing deeply-nested, recursive structures.
Thanks to Marwan Atia (marwans...@gmail.com) for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2026-33818 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/80405.

Engine API
The Engine API is an HTTP API used by the command-line client to communicate with the daemon. It can also be used by third-party software to control the daemon.
It consists of various components in this repository:
api/swagger.yamlA Swagger definition of the API.api/types/Types shared by both the client and server, representing various objects, options, responses, etc. Most are written manually, but some are automatically generated from the Swagger definition. See #27919 for progress on this.client/The Go client used by the command-line client. It can also be used by third-party Go programs.daemon/The daemon, which serves the API.
Swagger definition
The API is defined by the Swagger definition in api/swagger.yaml. This definition can be used to:
- Automatically generate documentation.
- Automatically generate the Go server and client. (A work-in-progress.)
- Provide a machine readable version of the API for introspecting what it can do, automatically generating clients for other languages, etc.
Updating the API documentation
The API documentation is generated entirely from api/swagger.yaml. If you make updates to the API, edit this file to represent the change in the documentation.
Documentation for each API version can be found in the docs directory, which also provides a CHANGELOG.md.
The file is split into two main sections:
definitions, which defines re-usable objects used in requests and responsespaths, which defines the API endpoints (and some inline objects which don't need to be reusable)
To make an edit, first look for the endpoint you want to edit under paths, then make the required edits. Endpoints may reference reusable objects with $ref, which can be found in the definitions section.
There is hopefully enough example material in the file for you to copy a similar pattern from elsewhere in the file (e.g. adding new fields or endpoints), but for the full reference, see the Swagger specification.
swagger.yaml is validated by hack/validate/swagger to ensure it is a valid Swagger definition. This is useful when making edits to ensure you are doing the right thing.
Viewing the API documentation
When you make edits to swagger.yaml, you may want to check the generated API documentation to ensure it renders correctly.
Run make swagger-docs and a preview will be running at http://localhost:9000. Some of the styling may be incorrect, but you'll be able to ensure that it is generating the correct documentation.
The production documentation is generated by vendoring swagger.yaml into docker/docs.
