  - Echo is a Go web framework. Prior to 4.15.2 and 5.1.1, Context.Scheme returns values from X-Forwarded-
    Proto, X-Forwarded-Protocol, or X-Url-Scheme without validating that they are supported web schemes.
    WWWRedirect and NonWWWRedirect use that value to construct a Location header, so an attacker controlling a
    forwarded scheme header can cause a redirect to use an arbitrary URI scheme. Exploitation requires an
    affected redirect middleware and user interaction with the response; the HTTPS-specific redirect variants
    hardcode HTTPS and are unaffected. This issue is fixed in 4.15.2 and 5.1.1. (CVE-2026-118658)
