SCA: security update for github.com/corazawaf/coraza/v3 (GHSA-prpw-wwv7-xjjr)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 473530

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
3.8.0, the Native audit-log formatter in internal/auditlog/formats.go writes attacker-influenced request
and response fields without neutralizing carriage returns or line feeds. When SecAuditLogFormat Native is
enabled, injected line breaks can create forged lines inside a transaction record. An attacker who
controls request or response body, header, error-message, or matched-rule data can inject carriage returns
and line feeds that appear as forged audit lines within a transaction record. The forged content can
mislead operators and line-oriented SIEM processing, although the unpredictable transaction boundary
prevents straightforward impersonation of a separate complete session. This issue is fixed in version
3.8.0. (CVE-2026-41504)

Solution

Update the github.com/corazawaf/coraza/v3 library and its related packages to version 3.8.0 or later.
