NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gatus package and not the gatus package as distributed by Chainguard. See How to fix? for Chainguard relevant fixed versions and status.

Fiber is an Express inspired web framework written in Go. Prior to 3.3.0 and 2.52.14, the BalancerForward proxy helper in middleware/proxy/proxy.go uses Header.Add() instead of Header.Set() when injecting X-Real-IP, allowing an attacker-supplied first X-Real-IP value to be forwarded to upstream servers for logging, rate limiting, and access control. This issue is fixed in version 3.3.0 and 2.52.14.
