Go Parser Vulnerabilities Allow Authentication Bypass and Data Exfiltration

Unexpected behaviors in Go's JSON, XML, and YAML parsers enable attackers to bypass authentication, circumvent authorization controls, and exfiltrate sensitive data from production systems. Attack vectors include manipulating duplicate keys, exploiting case-insensitive key matching, and leveraging data format confusion to cause parser discrepancies between services. Real-world example includes CVE-2020-16250 Hashicorp Vault authentication bypass found by Google's Project Zero team.
