5.3MEDIUM
What is CVE-2025-61724?
The Reader.ReadResponse function in the Golang Standard Library exhibits a vulnerability due to inefficient string concatenation. This occurs when processing a response with a large number of lines, leading to excessive CPU consumption as the system struggles to handle the demand. As more lines are added, the performance degradation intensifies, posing risks for applications relying on this function, particularly under heavy loads. Developers should review their implementations and optimize response handling to mitigate potential impacts.
