CVE-2026-45045: GoFiber Vulnerable to X-Real-IP Spoofing via Header.Add() in BalancerForward

July 2, 2026 (updated August 4, 2026)

The BalancerForward proxy helper in GoFiber uses Header.Add() instead of Header.Set() when injecting the X-Real-IP header. This appends the real client IP as a second header value rather than replacing any attacker-supplied value. Upstream servers that read the first X-Real-IP header (nginx, Express, most HTTP servers) use the attacker’s spoofed IP for logging, rate limiting, and access control.
