Cilium is a networking, observability, and security solution with an eBPF-based dataplane. This issue only impacts users who have a HTTP policy that applies to multiple `toEndpoints` AND have an allow-all rule in place that affects only one of those endpoints. In such cases, a wildcard rule will be appended to the set of HTTP rules, which could cause bypass of HTTP policies. This issue has been patched in Cilium 1.11.16, 1.12.9, and 1.13.2.

  • GHSA-2h44-x2wx-49f4Potential HTTP policy bypass when using header rules in Cilium2023-05-22ghsa · osvUS

    ### Impact This issue only impacts users who: - Have a HTTP policy that applies to multiple `toEndpoints` AND - Have an allow-all rule in place that affects only one of those endpoints In such cases, a wildcard rule will be appended to the set of HTTP rules, which could cause bypass of HTTP policies. ### Patches This issue has been patched in Cilium 1.11.16, 1.12.9, and 1.13.2. ### Workarounds Rewrite HTTP rules for each endpoint separately. For example, if the initial rule looks like: ``` egress: - toEndpoints: - matchLabels: k8s:kind: echo - matchLabels: k8s:kind: example toPorts: - ports: - port: "8080" protocol: TCP rules: http: - method: "GET" ``` It should be rewritten to: ``` egress: - toEndpoints: - matchLabels: k8s:kind: echo toPorts: - ports: - port: "8080" protocol: TCP rules: http: - method: "GET" - toEndpoints: - matchLabels: k8s:kind: example toPorts: - ports: - port: "8080" protocol: TCP rules: http: - method: "GET" ``` ### Acknowledgements The Cilium community has worked together with members of Isovalent to prepare these mitigations. Special thanks to @jrajahalme for investigating and fixing the issue. ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory, please reach out on [Slack](https://docs.cilium.io/en/latest/community/community/#slack).
