SCA: security update for github.com/corazawaf/coraza/v3 (GHSA-6gcq-wc29-5xf2)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 473883

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, readJSON in internal/bodyprocessors/json.go can stop its bounded flattening walk after reaching
 SecArgumentsLimit or the byte budget and then call gjson.Valid on the complete raw body. An
 unauthenticated attacker can submit shallow values followed by an extremely deeply nested JSON tail that
 was not visited by the bounded walk, causing gjson.Valid to recurse without a depth bound and terminate
 the hosting process with an unrecoverable fatal stack overflow. The ProcessRequest and ProcessResponse
 JSON paths share the affected readJSON validation flow, and the payload can remain within recommended
 body-size and argument-count limits. This issue is fixed in version 3.8.1. (CVE-2026-107826)

Solution

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