GHSA-mqxv-9rm6-w8qc: Ech0: ParseAcceptLanguage `_` separator bypass enables ~70x CPU amplification via Accept-Language header in i18n.Middleware

Ech0’s i18n middleware runs on every HTTP request and constructs a fresh *goi18n.Localizer from the raw Accept-Language header without imposing any size or shape filter. goi18n.NewLocalizer calls golang.org/x/text/language.ParseAcceptLanguage on the value internally. The underlying parser has quadratic-time behaviour on long lists of malformed language tags. The CVE-2022-32149 guard that golang.org/x/text added in v0.3.8 caps the number of - characters in the input at 1000, but it does not cap _ characters even though the parser’s internal scanner aliases _ to - before parsing. A single unauthenticated GET request with an Accept-Language header built out of _ separators burns about 1.5 seconds of server CPU on the host running Ech0; ten concurrent attackers saturate a ten-core box for the duration of the attack while consuming ~10 MiB/s of upstream bandwidth.
