CVE-2026-41246

Описание

Contour is a Kubernetes ingress controller using Envoy proxy. From v1.19.0 to before v1.33.4, v1.32.5, and v1.31.6, Contour's Cookie Rewriting feature is vulnerable to Lua code injection. An attacker with RBAC permissions to create or modify HTTPProxy resources can craft a malicious value in spec.routes[].cookieRewritePolicies[].pathRewrite.value or spec.routes[].services[].cookieRewritePolicies[].pathRewrite.value that results in arbitrary code execution in the Envoy proxy. The cookie rewriting feature is internally implemented using Envoy's HTTP Lua filter. User-controlled values are interpolated into Lua source code using Go text/template without sufficient sanitization. The injected code only executes when processing traffic on the attacker's own route, which they already control. However, since Envoy runs as shared infrastructure, the injected code can also read Envoy's xDS client credentials from the filesystem or cause denial of service for other tenants sharing the Envoy instance. This vulnerability is fixed in v1.33.4, v1.32.5, and v1.31.6.

A flaw was found in Contour, a Kubernetes ingress controller. An attacker with Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) permissions to manage HTTPProxy resources can exploit a Lua code injection vulnerability within Contour's Cookie Rewriting feature. By crafting a malicious value in specific configuration fields, the attacker can achieve arbitrary code execution in the Envoy proxy. This could allow them to read sensitive credentials from the filesystem or cause a denial of service for other users sharing the Envoy instance.
