Real-World Exposure

Description
The route lookup process in beego prior to 1.12.9 and 2.x prior to 2.0.3 allows attackers to bypass access control. When a /p1/p2/:name route is configured, attackers can access it by appending .xml in various places (e.g., p1.xml instead of p1).

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/beego/beego/v2, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update github.com/beego/beego/v2 to 2.0.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-qx32-f6g6-fcfr is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Put an independent control in front of the weakness: restrict the affected endpoint or interface to trusted networks, require an additional authentication factor or proxy-level check, and invalidate existing sessions and credentials in case the flaw has already been used.
