Echo: Static Middleware Double-Unescape Path Traversal

Published Oct 28, 2026 · Updated Oct 29, 2026 · Assigned by GitHub_M

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.
