IDs: go-2026-5932
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/go-2026-5932 (revision 1, source checked 3 Nov 2026, 06:10 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Unrated

Vendor response: Partial vendor fix; fixed versions by package: golang.org/x/crypto 0.58.1-0.20261009181718-2f1f834330b2. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Go golang.org/x/crypto: affected < 0.58.1-0.20261009181718-2f1f834330b2; fixed in 0.58.1-0.20261009181718-2f1f834330b2
- Go golang.org/x/crypto/openpgp: affected every version

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Go golang.org/x/crypto: check the installed version with your package manager.
- Go golang.org/x/crypto/openpgp: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on golang.org/x/crypto, golang.org/x/crypto/openpgp.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.
