Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2026-25882 is a denial-of-service vulnerability in Fiber, an Express-inspired web framework written in Go, affecting versions v2 and v3 prior to the patched releases. The issue stems from missing validation during route registration combined with an unbounded array write operation during request matching, specifically triggered when processing routes with more than 30 parameters. This leads to application crashes and is classified under CWE-129 (Improper Validation of Array Index), with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).
Remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability without authentication by sending crafted HTTP requests to any route endpoint that accepts parameters, provided the Fiber application exposes such routes over the network. Successful exploitation causes the server to crash due to the unbounded array write, resulting in a denial of service that disrupts availability for all users until the service is restarted. No privileges, user interaction, or special conditions are required beyond network access to the application.
Patches are available in Fiber version 2.52.12 for the v2 branch and version 3.1.0 for the v3 branch, which introduce proper validation to prevent the unbounded array writes. Security practitioners should upgrade to these versions immediately and review the GitHub security advisory (GHSA-mrq8-rjmw-wpq3) and associated pull request (#3962) for implementation details, including changes around path.go lines relevant to route parameter handling.

Security testing in development can detect out-of-bounds array access but does not prevent the weakness by itself.
Secure development lifecycle mandates input validation and bounds checking that directly prevents improper array indexing.
Application security requirements include validation of untrusted input used for indexing or addressing memory structures.
Secure architecture principles encourage defensive coding patterns that reduce index-related vulnerabilities.
Secure coding standards explicitly require bounds checking and validation of array indices derived from untrusted data.
