Prior to 1.7.4 and 1.8.1, internal/wasm/imagefetcher.go follows tenant-controlled EnvoyExtensionPolicy spec.wasm[].code.image.url values to Docker or OCI Wasm layers, and extractWasmPluginBinary uses the untrusted tar-header h.Size value to allocate memory before validating the entry name or declared size. A small PAX or GNU tar header can therefore claim a multi-terabyte entry even though the surrounding LimitReader restricts only the bytes read from the stream, and no registry allowlist prevents a permitted tenant from selecting an attacker-controlled registry that the controller can reach. The allocation is attempted for every tar entry and can cause an unrecoverable Go runtime out-of-memory failure; because the custom resource persists, reconciliation repeatedly crash-loops the shared controller and causes a single-request, non-volumetric, cluster-wide control-plane denial of service. This issue is fixed in versions 1.7.4 and 1.8.1.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-09-14T20:16:45.27+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-09-30T17:43:24.057+00:00","affected":[],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 3.1 · security-advisories@github.com · Secondary","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":6.5,"severity":"MEDIUM"}],"references":["https://github.com/envoyproxy/gateway/commit/5a78db82b7cf4fc5bebbeda2c50952892038a464","https://github.com/envoyproxy/gateway/commit/96e2b750868a459ace4b8b68e6a6e4fb0152b9b7","https://github.com/envoyproxy/gateway/commit/b4737180c7e597490c6363075c565fa8cf24eead","https://github.com/envoyproxy/gateway/pull/9171","https://github.com/envoyproxy/gateway/pull/9172","https://github.com/envoyproxy/gateway/pull/9173","https://github.com/envoyproxy/gateway/releases/tag/v1.7.4","https://github.com/envoyproxy/gateway/releases/tag/v1.8.1","https://github.com/envoyproxy/gateway/security/advisories/GHSA-h7pq-86h8-rp5x"],"sourceUrl":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-53717","license":"NIST NVD usage terms; underlying source attribution retained","enrichment":{"sourceStatus":"Awaiting Analysis","weaknesses":["CWE-789"],"productCriteria":[],"sourceDates":{"published":"2026-09-14T20:16:45.270","lastModified":"2026-09-30T17:43:24.057"},"relatedAdvisories":[],"note":"NVD analysis and CPE criteria are source context, not proof that a package or your environment is affected.
