Description

go-chi chi before 5.5.0 contains an authentication bypass in middleware.SupressNotFound, which calls Match with the live routing context and leaves a mounted router's parameter and child suffix in place for dispatch against the outer router. Unauthenticated attackers can request a mounted path whose suffix matches an outer public route, skipping the mounted authentication middleware and retrieving tenant-scoped data when that outer handler trusts the retained mount parameter.
