CVE-2026-72817: Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity

go-chi/chi versions 0.9.0 before 5.3.0 contains an IP spoofing vulnerability in the RealIP middleware, which resolves the request source IP Request.RemoteAddr using the first IP in the X-Forwarded-For header without validating trusted proxies. A malicious client can prepend a forged IP as the fir...

github.com/go-chi/chi: go-chi/chi: IP Spoofing via RealIP Middleware allows bypassing access controls

A flaw was found in the go-chi/chi RealIP middleware. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform IP spoofing by supplying arbitrary IP addresses in client-controlled headers. This can lead to bypassing IP-based access controls, evading rate limiting and geo-IP restrictions, and...

github.com/go-chi/chi/middleware: go-chi/chi: IP spoofing via X-Forwarded-For header manipulation

A flaw was found in the go-chi/chi component. The RealIP middleware, responsible for resolving the request source IP, does not properly validate trusted proxies when processing the X-Forwarded-For header. A remote attacker can exploit this by prepending a forged IP address to the X-Forwarded-For...

GHSA-3FXJ-6JH8-HVHX chi Has an IP Spoofing Vulnerability in `middleware.RealIP`

Summary The RealIP middleware in go-chi/chi is vulnerable to IP spoofing because it blindly trusts the first leftmost element of the X-Forwarded-For HTTP header. This allows a remote attacker to bypass IP-based access control lists ACLs and rate-limiting mechanisms by providing a spoofed IP addre...

GHSA-RJR7-JGGH-PGCP chi's RealIP Middleware allows IP spoofing via unvalidated X-Forwarded-For header

Summary realip middleware in go-chi/chi trusts headers like x-forwarded-for without checking them, so attackers can fake their ip and bypass rate limits or access controls Details the vuln is in middleware/realip.go , the realIP function pulls IPs straight from client headers and replaces...

chi Middleware Vulnerable to Potential IP Spoofing via `X-Forwarded-For` Header in `Request.RemoteAddr` Resolution

Summary The vulnerability allows the Request.RemoteAddr to be spoofed when determining the request source IP via the X-Forwarded-For header.
