Fiber: XSS in AutoFormat Content Negotiation

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 28.04.2026 Published: 11.05.2026 Updated: 11.05.2026

Fiber is a web framework for Go. Prior to 2.52.12 and 3.1.0, Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability in Go Fiber allows a remote attacker to inject arbitrary HTML/JavaScript by supplying Accept: text/html on any request whose handler passes attacker-influenced data to the AutoFormat() feature. The developer opts into content negotiation by calling AutoFormat(), but does not opt into raw HTML emission for a particular request; Fiber chooses that branch from attacker-controlled Accept. The html branch is the sole outlier in a method whose name (AutoFormat) and symmetrical structure actively telegraph "safe, format-agnostic reply." This vulnerability is fixed in 2.52.12 and 3.1.0.
