### Impact When using [Wireguard transparent encryption](https://docs.cilium.io/en/stable/security/network/encryption-wireguard/#encryption-wg) in a Cilium cluster, packets that originate from a terminating endpoint can leave the source node without encryption due to a race condition in how traffic is processed by Cilium. ### Patches This issue has been patched in https://github.com/cilium/cilium/pull/38592. This issue affects: - Cilium v1.15 between v1.15.0 and v1.15.15 inclusive - Cilium v1.16 between v1.16.0 and v1.16.8 inclusive - Cilium v1.17 between v1.17.0 and v1.17.2 inclusive This issue is fixed in: - Cilium v1.15.16 - Cilium v1.16.9 - Cilium v1.17.3 ### Workarounds There is no workaround to this issue. ### Acknowledgements The Cilium community has worked together with members of Isovalent to prepare these mitigations.
