SCA: security update for github.com/go-chi/chi/v5 (GHSA-j6qf-3m9c-vwj3)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 477241

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - In the Golang Chi web framework, the ClientIPFromXFF middleware skips any X-Forwarded-For entry in a
 configured trusted CIDR but never verifies that the direct TCP peer in http.Request.RemoteAddr belongs to
 that CIDR. A client that can reach the Go server directly can therefore append a trusted-looking proxy
 address and choose the client IP returned by middleware.GetClientIP. This issue affects chi before 5.4.0.
 (CVE-2026-114437)

Solution

Update the github.com/go-chi/chi/v5 library and its related packages to version 5.4.0 or later.
