SCA: security update for github.com/labstack/echo/v4 (GHSA-h7wr-284f-5qvc)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 477262

Description

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

 - Echo is a Go web framework. From 4.0.0 until 4.16.1, Echo v4's opt-in Decompress middleware exposes a
 gzip-decoded request stream without limiting its expanded size. A small compressed request can expand into
 a very large body when a handler reads or binds it, consuming excessive memory or CPU and allowing
 repeated or concurrent requests to cause denial of service. The middleware is not enabled by default, and
 limiting only the compressed request size does not bound the decoded size. This issue is fixed in 4.16.1.
 (CVE-2026-118261)

Solution

Update the github.com/labstack/echo/v4 library and its related packages to version 4.16.1 or later.
