## What is CVE-2026-30246?

CVE-2026-30246 is a medium-severity vulnerability in gofiber fiber, published on 5 May 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

Fiber is a web framework for Go. In github.com/gofiber/fiber/v3 versions through 3.1.0, the default key generator in the cache middleware uses only the request path and does not include the query string. As a result, requests for the same path with different query parameters can share a cache key and receive the wrong cached response. This can cause response mix-up for query-dependent endpoints and may expose data intended for a different request. This issue is fixed after version 3.1.0.

Weakness: CWE-436 (Interpretation Conflict)

Exploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-30246 exists.

Affected packages and fixed versions:
- github.com/gofiber/fiber/v3 (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 3.2.0

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
