This seemed to have been fixed in latest golang release 1.12 and commit https://github.com/golang/go/commit/829c5df58694b3345cb5ea41206783c8ccf5c3ca . The commit introduces a check for CTL characters and throws an error for URLs something similar to Python does for headers now at bf3e1c9b80e9.
func isCTL(r rune) bool { return r < ' ' || 0x7f <= r && r <= 0x9f } if strings.IndexFunc(ruri, isCTL) != -1 { return errors.New("net/http: can't write control character in Request.URL") } So below program used to work before go 1.12 setting a key on Redis but now it throws error : package main import "fmt" import "net/http" func main() { resp, err := http.Get("http://127.0.0.1:6379?\r\nSET test failure12\r\n:8080/test/?test=a") fmt.Println(resp) fmt.Println(err) } ➜ go version go version go1.12 darwin/amd64 ➜ go run urllib_vulnerability.go <nil> parse http://127.0.0.1:6379? SET test failure12 :8080/test/?test=a: net/url: invalid control character in URL Looking more into the commit there seemed to be a solution towards escaping characters with https://github.com/golang/go/issues/22907 . The fix seemed to have broke Google's internal tests [0] and hence reverted to have the above commit where only CTL characters were checked and raises an error. I think this is a tricky bug upon reading code reviews in the golang repo that has around 2-3 reports with a fix committed to be reverted later for a more conservative fix and the issue was reopened to target go 1.13 . Thanks a lot for the report @ragdoll.guo [0] https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/159157/2#message-39c6be13a192bf760f6318ac641b432a6ab8fdc8 ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36276> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
