[ CVE-2026-118655 · Published 28 Oct 2026 ]
Echo has a Static Middleware Double-Unescape Path Traversal
CVSS 5.9
EPSS <1%Fix available
[ Description ]Official description
Echo is a Go web framework. Prior to 4.15.3 and 5.2.0, middleware.Static can decode an already decoded Request.URL.Path a second time. Double-encoded separators can consequently be reconstructed before filesystem resolution. This can reach a file under a guarded route when the static middleware is registered globally. This issue is fixed in 4.15.3 and 5.2.0.
