Contour has Improper JWT Verification for Non-SNI Requests on Virtual Hosts with Fallback Certificate Enabled
Impact
When an HTTPProxy is configured with incompatible combination of both .spec.virtualhost.tls.enableFallbackCertificate: true and .spec.virtualhost.jwtProviders, Contour does not reject the configuration. Consequently, requests from clients that do not send TLS SNI or send an unrecognized SNI (one that does not match any HTTPProxy FQDN) bypass configured JWT verification and are proxied to upstream services without a valid token.

Patches
This issue is fixed in Contour v1.33.5. Contour now rejects and marks invalid any HTTPProxy resources that combine .spec.virtualhost.tls.enableFallbackCertificate: true with .spec.virtualhost.jwtProviders. Affected resources will receive a status condition with the error reason TLSIncompatibleFeatures.
Workarounds
Do not enable .spec.virtualhost.tls.enableFallbackCertificate on HTTPProxy resources that also define .spec.virtualhost.jwtProviders. Remove one of the two settings to avoid the invalid configuration.

Связанные уязвимости
A flaw was found in Contour. When an HTTPProxy is configured with both a fallback certificate and JWT (JSON Web Token) providers, Contour does not properly enforce JWT verification. This allows remote attackers to bypass security checks by sending requests without a valid token, specifically when clients do not provide a TLS Server Name Indication (SNI) or provide an unrecognized SNI. The consequence is unauthorized access to upstream services and potential information disclosure.
