CVE-2025-66630: Fiber has an insecure fallback in utils.UUIDv4() / utils.UUID() — predictable / zero‑UUID on crypto/rand failure

Fiber v2 contains an internal vendored copy of gofiber/utils, and its functions UUIDv4() and UUID() inherit the same critical weakness described in the upstream advisory. On Go versions prior to 1.24, the underlying crypto/rand implementation can return an error if secure randomness cannot be obtained. In such cases, these Fiber v2 UUID functions silently fall back to generating predictable values — the all-zero UUID 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000.

On Go 1.24+, the language guarantees that crypto/rand no longer returns an error (it will block or panic instead), so this vulnerability primarily affects Fiber v2 users running Go 1.23 or earlier, which Fiber v2 officially supports.

Because no error is returned by the Fiber v2 UUID functions, application code may unknowingly rely on predictable, repeated, or low-entropy identifiers in security-critical pathways. This is especially impactful because many Fiber v2 middleware components (session middleware, CSRF, rate limiting, request-ID generation, etc.) default to using utils.UUIDv4().

Impact includes, but is not limited to:

• Session fixation or hijacking (predictable session IDs)
• CSRF token forgery or bypass
• Authentication replay / token prediction
• Potential denial-of-service (DoS): if the zero UUID is generated, key-based structures (sessions, rate-limits, caches, CSRF stores) may collapse into a single shared key, causing overwrites, lock contention, or state corruption
• Request-ID collisions, undermining logging and trace integrity
• General compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and authorization logic relying on UUIDs for uniqueness or secrecy

All Fiber v2 versions containing the internal utils.UUIDv4() / utils.UUID() implementation are affected when running on Go <1.24. No patched Fiber v2 release currently exists.
