Envoy Gateway is an open source project for managing Envoy Proxy as a standalone or Kubernetes-based application gateway. A user with access to the Kubernetes cluster can use a path traversal attack to execute Envoy Admin interface commands on proxies managed by any version of Envoy Gateway prior to 1.2.6. The admin interface can be used to terminate the Envoy process and extract the Envoy configuration (possibly containing confidential data). Version 1.2.6 fixes the issue. As a workaround, the `EnvoyProxy` API can be used to apply a bootstrap config patch that restricts access strictly to the prometheus stats endpoint. Find below an example of such a bootstrap patch.

    ### Impact A user with access to a Kubernetes cluster where Envoy Gateway is installed can use a path traversal attack to execute Envoy Admin interface commands on proxies managed by Envoy Gateway. The admin interface can be used to terminate the Envoy process and extract the Envoy configuration (possibly containing confidential data). For example, the following command, if run from within the Kubernetes cluster, can be used to get the configuration dump of the proxy: ``` curl --path-as-is http://<Proxy-Service-ClusterIP>:19001/stats/prometheus/../../config_dump ``` ### Patches 1.2.6 ### Workarounds The `EnvoyProxy` API can be used to apply a bootstrap config patch that restricts access strictly to the prometheus stats endpoint. Find below an example of such a bootstrap patch. ``` apiVersion: gateway.envoyproxy.io/v1alpha1 kind: EnvoyProxy metadata: name: custom-proxy-config namespace: default spec: bootstrap: type: JSONPatch jsonPatches: - op: "add" path: "/static_resources/listeners/0/filter_chains/0/filters/0/typed_config/normalize_path" value: true - op: "replace" path: "/static_resources/listeners/0/filter_chains/0/filters/0/typed_config/route_config/virtual_hosts/0/routes/0/match" value: path: "/stats/prometheus" headers: - name: ":method" exact_match: GET ``` ### References - Envoy Admin Interface: https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/operations/admin - Envoy Configuration Best Practices: https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/configuration/best_practices/edge
