Published Apr 25, 2019 CVSS 3.0 · 6.5 Medium EPSS 5.0% KEV · Not listed
Description
Envoy 1.9.0 and before does not normalize HTTP URL paths. A remote attacker may craft a relative path, e.g., something/../admin, to bypass access control, e.g., a block on /admin. A backend server could then interpret the non-normalized path and provide an attacker access beyond the scope provided for by the access control policy.
