SCA: security update for github.com/corazawaf/coraza/v3 (GHSA-6r3q-mjv7-xr8m)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 473529

Description

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

 - OWASP Coraza WAF is a golang modsecurity compatible web application firewall library. From 3.0.0 until
 3.8.1, Coraza silently drops arguments after SecArgumentsLimit in internal/corazawaf/transaction.go, while
 internal/bodyprocessors/urlencoded.go writes ARGS_POST without enforcing the cap. The flaw is triggered
 when an unauthenticated attacker sends more arguments than SecArgumentsLimit or supplies bodies that
 expand beyond the configured argument and flattening budgets. An unauthenticated attacker can flood
 requests with arguments so excess values are silently omitted from ARGS, ARGS_GET, ARGS_NAMES,
 ARGS_GET_NAMES, ARGS_POST, or ARGS_PATH before security rules inspect them; affected urlencoded and JSON
 processing can also consume excessive memory. The omission can bypass WAF rules protecting the downstream
 application, and unbounded or amplified argument processing can cause memory consumption and service
 degradation. This issue is fixed in version 3.8.1. (CVE-2026-41510)

Solution

Update the github.com/corazawaf/coraza/v3 library and its related packages to version 3.8.1 or later.
