CVE-2026-73552
validatedZero produced an exploit or a check.GHSA-23xh-2qxr-3xv8 ↗EUVD-2026-84104 ↗
description
Envoy HTTP RBAC can incorrectly allow requests when safe_regex evaluates accepted non-UTF-8 request-header data under negative or inverted authorization logic. An unauthenticated remote client needs a deployment that accepts such header bytes and has a protected path whose routing or policy handling still recognizes the relevant header content.
mitigation
Upgrade Envoy to 1.39.1, 1.38.4, 1.37.6, 1.36.10 or later.
fixed in 1.39.1, 1.38.4, 1.37.6, 1.36.10
outcome
Contextual check: a technique exists and was validated, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
