Fiber: X-Real-IP Spoofing via Header.Add() in BalancerForward

Published Jul 8, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 5.3 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Fiber is an Express inspired web framework written in Go. Prior to 3.3.0 and 2.52.14, the BalancerForward proxy helper in middleware/proxy/proxy.go uses Header.Add() instead of Header.Set() when injecting X-Real-IP, allowing an attacker-supplied first X-Real-IP value to be forwarded to upstream servers for logging, rate limiting, and access control. This issue is fixed in version 3.3.0 and 2.52.14.
