Echo is a Go web framework. Prior to 4.16.0 and 5.4.0, a globally mounted middleware.Static instance can interpret an encoded request path differently from Echo's router because the router matches the still-encoded path while the static handler uses the decoded URL.Path. The advisory demonstrates an encoded slash resolving to a file under the static root through the global static middleware, but the source is internally inconsistent about whether a route or group guard protects the corresponding literal path in that global-mount configuration. This issue is fixed in 4.16.0 and 5.4.0.

GHSA-375p-5qhx-8wq4 — Echo's middleware.Static: `%2F`-encoded path bypasses route/group middleware guarding a statically-served path

Affected: Go: github.com/labstack/echo/v5, Go: github.com/labstack/echo/v4

## Summary

When `middleware.Static` is mounted globally (`e.Use(middleware.Static(...))`) and an application relies on a **route- or group-level middleware guard** to restrict a path that also falls under the served static root, a `%2F`-encoded request bypasses that guard while the file is still served. This is the same encoding/decoding mismatch fixed for `StaticFS`/`StaticDirectoryHandler` in CVE-2026-55677 / GHSA-vfp3-v2gw-7wfq, but the fix did not cover the `middleware.Static` path. In addition, the `StaticConfig.EnablePathUnescaping` docstring states the default configuration prevents exactly this bypass, which is inaccurate for the global-mount case.

**This is not path traversal:** no file outside the static root is accessed. The served file lives inside the static root; the issue is that access-control expectations set by a route guard are inconsistent between the literal and `%2F`-encoded forms of the same path.

## Details

Root cause — the router and the static handler disagree on how to interpret `%2F`:

- The router matches routes on the **raw, still-encoded** path, so `GET /admin%2Fsecret.txt` does **not** match a `/admin/...` route or group; any middleware attached to that route/group is therefore skipped. - `middleware.Static` selects its path source in `middleware/static.go` (~L219): with a global `e.Use` mount there is no wildcard route, so it uses `c.Request().URL.Path`, which `net/http` has already **decoded** (`%2F` → `/`). It then `path.Clean`s (~L235)…
