CVE-2026-27140 is a trust-layer bypass in Go's cmd/go build tooling involving specially crafted SWIG file names containing 'cgo' and associated payloads. The flaw enables code smuggling and arbitrary code execution during builds. Exploitation targets the build environment rather than requiring execution of the resulting application. Exact affected upstream Go versions and the vulnerable function are not specified.
