What is CVE-2025-48075?

CVE-2025-48075 is a high-severity denial of service vulnerability in gofiber fiber, published on 22 May 2025. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

Official description

Fiber is an Express-inspired web framework written in Go. Starting in version 2.52.6 and prior to version 2.52.7, `fiber.Ctx.BodyParser` can map flat data to nested slices using `key[idx]value` syntax, but when idx is negative, it causes a panic instead of returning an error stating it cannot process the data. Since this data is user-provided, this could lead to denial of service for anyone relying on this `fiber.Ctx.BodyParser` functionality. Version 2.52.7 fixes the issue.

Weakness: CWE-129
