SCA: security update for github.com/labstack/echo/v4, github.com/labstack/echo/v5 (GHSA-246p-cpwv-v3jq)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 477847

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 5.1.0, Context.RealIP falls back to client-supplied
X-Forwarded-For or X-Real-IP values when Echo.IPExtractor is unset, and the default RateLimiter uses that
result as its client identifier. A remote attacker can rotate arbitrary forwarded-address values to obtain
new rate-limit buckets and bypass IP-based throttling used for controls such as brute-force or request-
volume protection. This issue is fixed in Echo v5.1.0. (CVE-2026-118653)

Solution

Update the github.com/labstack/echo/v5 library and its related packages to version 5.1.0 or later.
