SCA: security update for github.com/gotenberg/gotenberg/v8 (GHSA-5q7p-7jgv-ww56)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 441030

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Gotenberg is an API-based document conversion tool. In versions 8.30.1 and earlier, the default private-IP
 deny-lists for the --webhook-deny-list and --api-download-from-deny-list flags use a case-sensitive
 regular expression (^https?://) to match URL schemes. Because Go's net/url.Parse() normalizes the scheme
 to lowercase before establishing the outbound TCP connection, an attacker can bypass the deny-list by
 simply capitalizing part of the URL scheme (e.g., HTTP://, HTTPS://, or Http://). This allows
 unauthenticated requests to reach internal network services, including private IP ranges, loopback
 addresses, and cloud instance metadata endpoints such as HTTP://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/. This
 bypasses the same security control that was patched in CVE-2026-27018. This issue has been fixed in
 version 8.31.0. (CVE-2026-40280)

Solution

Update the github.com/gotenberg/gotenberg/v8 library and its related packages to version 8.31.0 or later.
