CVE-2018-6574

Go before 1.8.7, Go 1.9.x before 1.9.4, and Go 1.10 pre-releases before Go 1.10rc2 allow "go get" remote command execution during source code build, by leveraging the gcc or clang plugin feature, because -fplugin= and -plugin= arguments were not blocked.

HIGH 7.8EPSS 7.63%

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (7.63%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
