NewCVE-2026-118262 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
There is no fixed version for Echo:latest golang-github-labstack-echo.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream golang-github-labstack-echo package and not the golang-github-labstack-echo package as distributed by Echo.
See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.
Echo is a Go web framework. From 4.15.0 until 4.16.1 and 5.4.1, Echo's Proxy middleware can retain a handler, copy goroutines, and network connections after a WebSocket client disconnects when the upstream keeps its connection open. The raw proxy waits for both copy directions without reliably closing the peer connection when one direction ends, including when a rejected upgrade response uses HTTP keep-alive. Repeated connections can accumulate resources and cause denial of service, depending on proxy-route accessibility, upstream behavior, and connection deadlines. This issue is fixed in 4.16.1 and 5.4.1.
