SCA: security update for github.com/corazawaf/coraza/v3 (GHSA-rp9v-7xv3-r6g3)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 473847

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 multipart loop in internal/bodyprocessors/multipart.go executes defer temp.Close() for every
uploaded file part, so each temporary-file descriptor remains open until the complete request returns. An
unauthenticated attacker can submit a multipart body containing many minimal file parts and exhaust the
process file-descriptor table within the request-body size limit, causing os.CreateTemp failures,
MULTIPART_STRICT_ERROR responses, blocked legitimate uploads, and process-wide inability to open files or
sockets. This issue is fixed in version 3.8.0. (CVE-2026-107834)

Solution

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