ETK-2026-4041Zero's internal tracking ID, independent of the CVE number.
validatedZero produced an exploit or a check.description
Skipper can route a request using a normalized path while passing a different path representation to an OPA authorization policy. An unauthenticated requester may bypass path-based access controls when OPA is enabled and a route uses opaAuthorizeRequest with policy logic that treats alternate path forms differently.
mitigation
Upgrade Skipper to v0.28.74. Until upgraded, normalize or reject non-canonical request paths before they reach Skipper and review OPA policies that authorize based on path patterns.
fixed in v0.28.74
outcome
Contextual check: a technique exists and was validated, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
