GHSA-2h44-x2wx-49f4 Potential HTTP policy bypass when using header rules in Cilium

• Go github.com/cilium/cilium: < 1.11.16 → fixed in 1.11.16 • Go github.com/cilium/cilium: >= 1.12.0, < 1.12.9 → fixed in 1.12.9 • Go github.com/cilium/cilium: >= 1.13.0, < 1.13.2 → fixed in 1.13.2

Impact This issue only impacts users who: • Have a HTTP policy that applies to multiple `toEndpoints` AND • Have an allow-all rule in place that affects only one of those endpoints In such cases, a wildcard rule will be appended to the set of HTTP rules, which could cause bypass of HTTP policies. Patches This issue has been patched in Cilium 1.11.16, 1.12.9, and 1.13.2. Workarounds Rewrite HTTP rules for each endpoint separately. For example, if the initial rule looks like: ``` egress: • toEndpoints: • matchLabels: k8s:kind: echo • matchLabels: k8s:kind: example toPorts: • ports: • port: "8080" protocol: TCP rules: http: • method: "GET" ``` It should be rewritten to: ``` egress: • toEndpoints: • matchLabels: k8s:kind: echo toPorts: • ports: • port: "8080" protocol: TCP rules: http: • method: "GET" • toEndpoints: • matchLabels: k8s:kind: example toPorts: • ports: • port: "8080" protocol: TCP rules: http: • method: "GET" ``` Acknowledgements The Cilium community has worked together with members of Isovalent to prepare these mitigations.
