SCA: security update for github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2 (GHSA-3q5p-3558-364f)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 409643

Description

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

- Fiber is an Express inspired web framework built in the go language. Versions of gofiber prior to 2.49.2
did not properly restrict access to localhost. This issue impacts users of our project who rely on the
`ctx.IsFromLocal` method to restrict access to localhost requests. If exploited, it could allow
unauthorized access to resources intended only for localhost. Setting `X-Forwarded-For: 127.0.0.1` in a
request from a foreign host, will result in true for `ctx.IsFromLocal`. Access is limited to the scope of
the affected process. This issue has been patched in version `2.49.2` with commit `b8c9ede6`. Users are
advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds to remediate this vulnerability without upgrading to
the patched version. (CVE-2023-41338)
