SCA: security update for github.com/labstack/echo/v4, github.com/labstack/echo/v5 (GHSA-9969-6676-49h5)
high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 477232
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Echo is a Go web framework. From 4.15.0 until 4.16.1 and 5.4.1, Echo's Proxy middleware can retain a
handler, copy goroutines, and network connections after a WebSocket client disconnects when the upstream
keeps its connection open. The raw proxy waits for both copy directions without reliably closing the peer
connection when one direction ends, including when a rejected upgrade response uses HTTP keep-alive.
Repeated connections can accumulate resources and cause denial of service, depending on proxy-route
accessibility, upstream behavior, and connection deadlines. This issue is fixed in 4.16.1 and 5.4.1.
(CVE-2026-118262)
Solution
Update the github.com/labstack/echo/v4 library and its related packages to version 4.16.1 or later.See Also
