CVE-2026-73553
validatedZero produced an exploit or a check.GHSA-77x5-xqjg-hprq ↗EUVD-2026-84120 ↗
description
Envoy can evaluate routing and path-based RBAC authorization against different forms of a request path when ignore_path_parameters_in_path_matching is enabled. An unauthenticated client may bypass an intended path-based authorization rule and reach a protected backend when the affected route and RBAC configuration are present.
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
Check only, differential: the check fires on the vulnerable build and is silent on the patched one.
