Cilium: Namespaced HTTPRoutes can redirect traffic to other namespaces

Collected exploitation and prediction evidence

CISA KEV is observed exploitation evidence. FIRST EPSS is a dated prediction of exploitation in the next 30 days. Missing scores are unknown. This collector requests predictions only for explicit CVE aliases in the public NuGet archive; Microsoft release views retain their existing prediction scope.

No collected risk observation for these identifiers. This does not establish absence of exploitation or a zero probability.

Published

Cilium is a networking, observability, and security solution. Prior to 1.17.17, 1.18.11, and 1.19.5, Cilium clusters using Gateway API allow users with permissions to create or update namespaced HTTPRoutes to mirror HTTP traffic to any Service in any namespace, bypassing the ReferenceGrant authorization mechanism. Gateway API functionality is disabled by default. This issue is fixed in versions 1.17.17, 1.18.11, and 1.19.5.

### Impact In Cilium clusters using [Gateway API](https://docs.cilium.io/en/stable/network/servicemesh/gateway-api/gateway-api/), users with permissions to create or update namespaced HTTPRoutes can mirror HTTP traffic to any Service in any namespace, bypassing the ReferenceGrant authorization mechanism. Gateway API functionality is disabled by default. ### Patches This issue affects: * Cilium v1.19 from v1.19.0 to v1.19.4 inclusive * Cilium v1.18 from v1.18.0 to v1.18.10 inclusive * All versions of Cilium before v1.17.17 This issue is patched in: * Cilium v1.19.5 * Cilium v1.18.11 * Cilium v1.17.17 ### Workarounds There is no workaround to this issue. Users of this feature who are unable to upgrade can mitigate the risk by ensuring that RBAC permissions to create `HTTPRoute` objects are only granted to cluster admins. ### Acknowledgements The Cilium community has worked together with members of Isovalent to prepare these mitigations. Special thanks to @galanko for reporting the issue and @mhofstetter for their work on triaging and remediating this issue. ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory, please reach out on [Slack](https://docs.cilium.io/en/latest/community/community/). If you think you have found a vulnerability affecting Cilium, we strongly encourage you to report it to our security mailing list at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). This is a private mailing list for the Cilium security team, and your report will be treated as top priority.
