CVE-2026-42503Accidental binding to INADDR_ANY might lead to RCE in golang.org/x/tools/gopls

Does this affect you?

It affects golang.org/x/tools/gopls and 1 other product. Add what you run to find out whether that includes you.

No exploitation reported and no EPSS estimate yet.

gopls by default communicates via pipe. However, -port and -listen flags are supported as means of debugging. If -listen is given a value without an explicit host (e.g. :8080), or -port is used, gopls will listen on 0.0.0.0.  As a result, users might inadvertently cause gopls to bind 0.0.0.0. This can allow a malicious party on the same network to execute code arbitrarily via gopls.
