Summary
golang-1.18, golang-1.21, golang-1.24 vulnerability
Details

It was discovered that the Go x/net/idna package incorrectly handled certain Punycode-encoded labels that decoded to ASCII-only labels. An attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass hostname-based access controls and escalate privileges.
