SCA: security update for github.com/labstack/echo/v4, github.com/labstack/echo/v5 (GHSA-r7w9-592q-9vg4)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 477835

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 MethodOverride middleware accepts a safe
 HTTP method as the override target for a POST request. When MethodOverride is registered before CSRF in
 the post-routing middleware chain, route selection retains the original state-changing POST handler but
 the override changes the method before CSRF evaluates it, causing both token validation and Sec-Fetch-Site
 checks to be skipped. A cross-site exploit requires an authenticated victim and an override value that a
 browser-submitted request can control, such as the form getter used by the advisory reproducer; the
 default X-HTTP-Method-Override header getter is not settable by a cross-site form. This issue is fixed in
 4.16.0 and 5.4.0. (CVE-2026-118266)

Solution

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