Fiber: CORS wildcard origins matched without a dot boundary, allowing credentialed cross-origin reads
CVE-2026-119285
Summary In v2.52.1 and v2.52.2 the CORS middleware matched a wildcard origin such as https://.example.com by suffix only, without a dot boundary and without comparing the scheme. Any origin whose host ends with the base domain, for example https://evil-example.com or http://notexample.com, was reflected in Access-Control-Allow-Origin, together with Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true when AllowCredentials is enabled. v2.52.3 replaced the matcher (#2915) and is not affected. The report was filed against v2.52.15, where the dot boundary holds; see "Other versions" below. Details v2.52.1 introduced validateDomain in middleware/cors/utils.go (f0cd3b44, part of the fix for GHSA-fmg4-x8pw-hjhg). It strips scheme and port from both sides and then checks only the suffix, with trimmedPattern = "example.com", so the character before the suffix is never checked: go if strings.HasPrefix(normalizedPattern, ".") { trimmedPattern := normalizedPattern[2:] if strings.HasSuffix(normalizedDomain, trimmedPattern) { if normalizedDomain != trimmedPattern { if strings.TrimSuffix(normalizedDomain, trimmedPattern) != "" { return true } } } } v2.52.3 (1aac6f61, #2915) replaced it with a scheme-aware…
