CVE-2026-53624: GoFiber never set HSTS header in helmet middleware due to incorrect protocol check

July 6, 2026

The helmet middleware in gofiber/fiber never sets the Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS) response header, even when HSTSMaxAge is explicitly configured, because the condition check at helmet.go:67 uses c.Protocol() — which returns the HTTP protocol version string (e.g., "HTTP/1.1", "HTTP/2.0") — instead of c.Scheme() — which returns the URL scheme ("http" or "https"). Since c.Protocol() never equals "https" in any real deployment, the HSTS header is permanently disabled, defeating the security protection.
