Impact

Host Policies will incorrectly permit traffic from Pods on other nodes when all of the following configurations are enabled:

• Native Routing
• WireGuard
• Node Encryption (beta)

These options are disabled by default in Cilium.

Patches

This issue was fixed by #42892.

This issue affects:

• Cilium v1.18 between v1.18.0 and v1.18.5 inclusive

This issue is fixed in:

• Cilium v1.18.6

Workarounds

There is currently no officially verified or comprehensive workaround for this issue. The following procedure has been validated strictly within a local 'Kind' environment and has not undergone exhaustive testing across diverse production architectures. Proceed with caution.

To mitigate the identified traffic bypass, ensure all ingress traffic from the cilium_wg0 interface is explicitly routed to cilium_host for policy enforcement. This ensures that host-level security policies are applied to decrypted WireGuard traffic. Execute the following configuration on each CiliumNode:
