SCA: security update for github.com/gotenberg/gotenberg/v8 (GHSA-r33j-c622-r6qp)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 441453

Description

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

 - Gotenberg is a Docker-powered stateless API for PDF files. Prior to 8.32.0, the webhook middleware spawns
 a goroutine that holds a reference to the request's echo.Context after the synchronous handler returns
 ErrAsyncProcess and Echo recycles the context back to its sync.Pool. When a concurrent request claims the
 recycled context, c.Reset() clears the store. If the webhook goroutine reaches hardTimeoutMiddleware at
 that moment, an unchecked type assertion on a nil store entry panics outside any recover() scope, crashing
 the Gotenberg process. Any anonymous caller reaches the webhook path (default webhook-deny-list filters
 only the webhook destination, not the submitter). A single-source stress of ~24 webhook requests plus ~60
 GET /version requests crashes the process in about two seconds. This vulnerability is fixed in 8.32.0.
 (CVE-2026-42594)

Solution

Update the github.com/gotenberg/gotenberg/v8 library and its related packages to version 8.32.0 or later.
