NewCVE-2026-118650 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade github.com/labstack/echo/v5/middleware to version 5.4.0 or higher.
Overview
github.com/labstack/echo/v5/middleware is a middleware package for echo.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Use of Non-Canonical URL Paths for Authorization Decisions via the Static middleware in middleware/static.go. When Static is attached to a catch-all route alongside a guarded route, an attacker can request an in-root file using an encoded separator, such as /admin%2Fsecret.txt; routing misses the guarded route while Static resolves the decoded URL path and serves the file. When Static is mounted globally with Echo#Use, it runs before route and group middleware, so those guards do not protect even literal static paths.
Workarounds
- Keep files that need protection outside the
middleware.Staticroot directory to prevent the middleware from serving them without the intended access controls.
