SCA: security update for github.com/corazawaf/coraza/v3 (GHSA-pc5q-qfxp-ggqv)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 473849

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 t:jsDecode transformation in internal/transformations/js_decode.go:64-70 includes the backslash
in the octal buffer, causing ParseInt to fail and return a null byte. The flaw is triggered when a rule
relies on t:jsDecode and the request contains JavaScript octal escape sequences. An unauthenticated
attacker can encode attack syntax with JavaScript octal escapes so the backend decodes the intended bytes
while Coraza rules using t:jsDecode inspect corrupted null-byte output. The mismatch can bypass WAF rules
and expose the protected application to attacks such as cross-site scripting or SQL injection. This issue
is fixed in version 3.8.0. (CVE-2026-104774)

Solution

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