waiting for further signalsZero needs more public information before it can validate it.GHSA-mgfp-w5j2-wv57 ↗EUVD-2026-125682 ↗
description
Apache APISIX 3.18.0 through 3.19.0 can treat client-controlled header data as trusted authentication information on certain routes. An unauthenticated client may bypass access controls when non-strict JWE decryption uses different input and forwarded headers, or when forward-auth degradation is enabled while its authentication service is unavailable.
mitigation
Upgrade Apache APISIX to version 3.20.0. Until upgraded, enforce strict JWE validation, avoid differing token and forwarded headers, and disable forward-auth degradation where feasible.
outcome
Contextual, not validated: no deterministic check could cover this one, and no technique passed our review.
