Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for golang-1.9.

CVE-2018-7187[0]:
| The "go get" implementation in Go 1.9.4, when the -insecure
| command-line option is used, does not validate the import path
| (get/vcs.go only checks for "://" anywhere in the string), which allows
| remote attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands via a crafted web
| site.

If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
