CVE-2024-X90X6
This challenge covers the review of a CVE in a Golang codebase and its patch
The Code Review Patch challenges are designed to help you hone your code review skills by providing both the vulnerable code and its patch. Your task is to first attempt to identify the vulnerability without looking at the patch. This exercise encourages you to think critically and rely on your understanding of secure coding practices.
If you cannot pinpoint the vulnerability or wish to verify your findings, you can then examine the patch (the diff file). This two-step process not only helps in reinforcing your knowledge but also improves your ability to detect and understand common coding flaws. By analyzing both the code and the patch, you gain insights into both the nature of vulnerabilities and effective ways to mitigate them.
