  - 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. (CVE-2026-118655)
