[security] Go 1.24.5 and Go 1.23.11 are released

[anno...@golang.org]

Hello gophers,

We have just released Go versions 1.24.5 and 1.23.11, minor point releases.

These minor releases include 1 security fixes following the security policy:

• cmd/go: unexpected command execution in untrusted VCS repositories

  Various uses of the Go toolchain in untrusted VCS repositories can result in
  unexpected code execution. When using the Go toolchain in directories fetched
  using various VCS tools (such as directly cloning Git or Mercurial repositories)
  can cause the toolchain to execute unexpected commands, if said directory
  contains multiple VCS configuration metadata (such as a '.hg' directory in a Git
  repository). This is due to how the Go toolchain attempts to resolve which VCS
  is being used in order to embed build information in binaries and determine
  module versions.

  The toolchain will now abort attempting to resolve which VCS is being used if it
  detects multiple VCS configuration metadata in a module directory or nested VCS
  configuration metadata (such as a '.git' directoy in a parent directory and a
  '.hg' directory in a child directory). This will not prevent the toolchain from
  building modules, but will result in binaries omitting VCS related build
  information.

  If this behavior is expected by the user, the old behavior can be re-enabled by
  setting GODEBUG=allowmultiplevcs=1. This should only be done in trusted
  repositories.

  Thanks to RyotaK (https://ryotak.net) of GMO Flatt Security Inc for reporting
  this issue.

  This is CVE-2025-4674 and https://go.dev/issue/74380.
