SCA: security update for github.com/labstack/echo/v4, github.com/labstack/echo/v5 (GHSA-3pmx-cf9f-34xr)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 477820

Description

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

- Echo is a Go web framework. Prior to 4.16.0 and 5.4.0, Echo's static file handlers can normalize dot
segments after route matching and serve a file through a public static route even though the corresponding
direct path is protected by route-level middleware. An unauthenticated attacker can read files that an
application intended to protect with route-level middleware, when those files are also reachable through a
static filesystem mount after path normalization. This vulnerability is the result of an incomplete fix
for CVE-2026-55677. This issue is fixed in 4.16.0 and 5.4.0. (CVE-2026-118654)

Solution

Update the github.com/labstack/echo/v4 library and its related packages to version 4.16.0 or later.
