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
