Go 1.15.1 and Go 1.14.8 address a recently reported security issue: When a Handler does not explicitly set the Content-Type header, the net/http/cgi and net/http/fcgi packages would default to ���text/html���, which could cause a Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability if an attacker can control any part of the contents of a response. The Content-Type header is now set based on the contents of the first Write using http.DetectContentType, which is consistent with the behavior of the net/http package. Although this protects some applications that validate the contents of uploaded files, not setting the Content-Type header explicitly on any attacker-controlled file is unsafe and should be avoided. This issue is CVE-2020-24553 and Go issue https://github.com/golang/go/issues/40928
