SCA: security update for github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2 (GHSA-fmg4-x8pw-hjhg)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 414587

Description

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

 - Fiber is a web framework written in go. Prior to version 2.52.1, the CORS middleware allows for insecure
 configurations that could potentially expose the application to multiple CORS-related vulnerabilities.
 Specifically, it allows setting the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header to a wildcard (`*`) while also
 having the Access-Control-Allow-Credentials set to true, which goes against recommended security best
 practices. The impact of this misconfiguration is high as it can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive
 user data and expose the system to various types of attacks listed in the PortSwigger article linked in
 the references. Version 2.52.1 contains a patch for this issue. As a workaround, users may manually
 validate the CORS configurations in their implementation to ensure that they do not allow a wildcard
 origin when credentials are enabled. The browser fetch api, as well as browsers and utilities that enforce
 CORS policies, are not affected by this. (CVE-2024-25124)

Solution

Update the github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2 library and its related packages to version 2.52.1 or later.
