AI-suggested
Upgrade Echo to version 4.16.0 or later, or 5.4.0 or later, where this issue is fixed. Ensure that trusted proxies overwrite forwarded scheme headers and prevent direct backend access to reduce risk.
Description
Echo, a Go web framework, had a vulnerability in versions prior to 4.16.0 and 5.4.0 where it trusted forwarded scheme headers from any client. This allowed an attacker to bypass HTTPSRedirect by claiming an HTTPS scheme over plaintext HTTP, or suppress the Strict-Transport-Security header when behind a TLS-terminating proxy. The issue is fixed in versions 4.16.0 and 5.4.0.
