SCA: security update for github.com/labstack/echo/v5 (GHSA-h53f-rm2w-w7rg)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 477254

Description

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

 - Echo is a Go web framework. From 5.0.0 until 5.4.1, Echo v5's ExtractIPFromRealIPHeader validates whether
 the client-supplied X-Real-IP value belongs to a trusted range instead of validating the direct network
 peer. A client reaching Echo directly, or through a proxy that preserves the header, can supply a loopback
 or private address and have Context.RealIP return that spoofed identity. Applications using the extractor
 for IP allowlists, rate limiting, audit logs, or forwarding headers can consequently trust an attacker-
 controlled address; the default direct extractor and Echo v4 are unaffected. This issue is fixed in 5.4.1.
 (CVE-2026-118265)

Solution

Update the github.com/labstack/echo/v5 library and its related packages to version 5.4.1 or later.
