21th percentile - higher than 21% of all known CVEs

Summary

Ech0 before 5.0.1 does not impose any size or shape limit on the Accept-Language header processed by its i18n middleware, which runs on every HTTP request. The header is passed unfiltered to go-i18n's NewLocalizer, which internally calls golang.org/x/text/language.ParseAcceptLanguage. The CVE-2022-32149 mitigation in x/text caps '-' characters but not '_' characters, which the parser aliases to '-', allowing quadratic-time parsing to be triggered with a large header (up to Go's default 1 MiB) built from underscore separators. An unauthenticated attacker can send such requests to consume roughly 1.5 seconds of CPU each, and concurrent requests can saturate a multi-core server (denial of service).

Risk Assessment

Risk of denial of service via CPU exhaustion on the server, potentially leading to service unavailability for users.

Recommendation

Upgrade Ech0 to version 5.0.1 or later. Additionally, consider limiting the Accept-Language header size at the server level or applying patches in x/text.
