Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

The golang.org/x/net package is vulnerable in versions before 0.36.0. When hosts are matched against proxy patterns, an IPv6 zone ID can be wrongly treated as part of the hostname, so a request can skip the proxy it should have used. An attacker who can make requests through the affected code could cause traffic to bypass the configured proxy. Upgrade to golang.org/x/net 0.36.0 or later.
