BREAKING CHANGE JWT Middleware Removed from Core use labstack/echo-jwt instead
The JWT middleware has been removed from Echo core due to another security vulnerability, CVE-2024-51744. For more details, refer to issue #2699. A drop-in replacement is available in the labstack/echo-jwt repository.
Important: Direct assignments like token := c.Get("user").(*jwt.Token)
will now cause a panic due to an invalid cast. Update your code accordingly. Replace the current imports from "github.com/golang-jwt/jwt"
in your handlers to the new middleware version using "github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5"
.
Background:
The version of golang-jwt/jwt
(v3.2.2) previously used in Echo core has been in an unmaintained state for some time. This is not the first vulnerability affecting this library; earlier issues were addressed in PR #1946.
JWT middleware was marked as deprecated in Echo core as of v4.10.0 on 2022-12-27. If you did not notice that, consider leveraging tools like Staticcheck to catch such deprecations earlier in you dev/CI flow. For bonus points - check out gosec.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by this change. While we strive to maintain backward compatibility within Echo core, recurring security issues with third-party dependencies have forced this decision.

We are deprecating JWT middleware in this repository. Please use https://github.com/labstack/echo-jwt instead.
JWT middleware is moved to separate repository to allow us to bump/upgrade version of JWT implementation (
github.com/golang-jwt/jwt
) we are using which we can not do in Echo core because this would break backwards compatibility guarantees we try to maintain. -
This minor version bumps minimum Go version to 1.17 (from 1.16) due
golang.org/x/
packages we depend on. There are several vulnerabilities fixed in these libraries.Echo still tries to support last 4 Go versions but there are occasions we can not guarantee this promise.

Important notes
A BREAKING CHANGE is introduced for JWT middleware users. The JWT library used for the JWT middleware had to be changed from github.com/dgrijalva/jwt-go to github.com/golang-jwt/jwt due former library being unmaintained and affected by security issues. The github.com/golang-jwt/jwt project is a drop-in replacement, but supports only the latest 2 Go versions. So for JWT middleware users Go 1.15+ is required. For detailed information please read #1940
To change the library imports in all .go files in your project replace all occurrences of dgrijalva/jwt-go
with golang-jwt/jwt
.
For Linux CLI you can use:
find -type f -name "*.go" -exec sed -i "s/dgrijalva\/jwt-go/golang-jwt\/jwt/g" {} \;
go mod tidy
Fixes
- Change JWT library to
github.com/golang-jwt/jwt
#1946
Fixes
- Split HeaderXForwardedFor header only by comma #1878
- Fix Timeout middleware Context propagation #1910
Enhancements
- Bind data using headers as source #1866
- Adds JWTConfig.ParseTokenFunc to JWT middleware to allow different libraries implementing JWT parsing. #1887
- Adding tests for Echo#Host #1895
- Adds RequestIDHandler function to RequestID middleware #1898
- Allow for custom JSON encoding implementations #1880
Important notes
- Route matching has improvements for following cases:
- Correctly match routes with parameter part as last part of route (with trailing backslash)
- Considering handlers when resolving routes and search for matching http method handler
- Echo minimal Go version is now 1.13.
Fixes
- When url ends with slash first param route is the match #1804
- Router should check if node is suitable as matching route by path+method and if not then continue search in tree #1808
- Fix timeout middleware not writing response correctly when handler panics #1864
- Fix binder not working with embedded pointer structs #1861
- Add Go 1.16 to CI and drop 1.12 specific code #1850
Enhancements
- Make KeyFunc public in JWT middleware #1756
- Add support for optional filesystem to the static middleware #1797
- Add a custom error handler to key-auth middleware #1847
- Allow JWT token to be looked up from multiple sources #1845
Fixes
- Allow proxy middleware to use query part in rewrite (#1802)
- Fix timeout middleware not sending status code when handler returns an error (#1805)
- Fix Bind() when target is array/slice and path/query params complains bind target not being struct (#1835)
- Fix panic in redirect middleware on short host name (#1813)
- Fix timeout middleware docs (#1836)
Important notes
Due to a datarace the config parameters for the newly added timeout middleware required a change. See the docs. A performance regression has been fixed, even bringing better performance than before for some routing scenarios.

- Avoid context canceled errors (#1789, clwluvw)

Important notes
The behaviour for binding data has been reworked for compatibility with echo before v4.1.11 by
enforcing explicit tagging
for processing parameters. This may break your code if you
expect combined handling of query/path/form params.
Please see the updated documentation for request and binding
The handling for rewrite rules has been slightly adjusted to expand *
to a non-greedy (.*?)
capture group. This is only relevant if multiple asterisks are used in your rules.
Please see rewrite and proxy for details.
