Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for golang-github-go-chi-chi.

CVE-2026-114437[0]:
| In the Golang Chi web framework, the ClientIPFromXFF middleware
| skips any X-Forwarded-For entry in a configured trusted CIDR but
| never verifies that the direct TCP peer in http.Request.RemoteAddr
| belongs to that CIDR. A client that can reach the Go server directly
| can therefore append a trusted-looking proxy address and choose the
| client IP returned by middleware.GetClientIP.  This issue affects
| chi before 5.4.0.
