DescriptionGitHub Advisory

Fiber is an Express inspired web framework written in Go. In versions on the v3 branch prior to 3.1.0, the use of the fiber_flash cookie can force an unbounded allocation on any server. A crafted 10-character cookie value triggers an attempt to allocate up to 85GB of memory via unvalidated msgpack deserialization. No authentication is required. Every GoFiber v3 endpoint is affected regardless of whether the application uses flash messages. Version 3.1.0 fixes the issue.

AnalysisAI

Unbounded memory allocation in Fiber v3 (prior to 3.1.0) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to trigger denial of service by sending a malicious fiber_flash cookie that forces deserialization of up to 85GB of memory. All v3 endpoints are vulnerable regardless of flash message usage, and public exploit code exists. …
