An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-27493 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- envoy (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 1.22.9, 1.23.6, 1.24.4, 1.25.3\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-27493/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-27493/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-27493","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-27493/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-27493","record":{"aliases":["BIT-envoy-2023-27493","GHSA-w5w5-487h-qv8q"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Envoy proxy","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can inject illegal characters into HTTP headers, potentially causing request smuggling and bypassing security policies in Envoy proxy.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"other"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"envoy","vendor":"envoyproxy"}],"cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-444","name":"Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests"},{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"Envoy is an open source edge and service proxy designed for cloud-native applications. Prior to versions 1.26.0, 1.25.3, 1.24.4, 1.23.6, and 1.22.9, Envoy does not sanitize or escape request properties when generating request headers. This can lead to characters that are illegal in header values to be sent to the upstream service. In the worst case, it can cause upstream service to interpret the original request as two pipelined requests, possibly bypassing the intent of Envoy’s security policy. Versions 1.26.0, 1.25.3, 1.24.4, 1.23.6, and 1.22.9 contain a patch. As a workaround, disable adding request headers based on the downstream request properties, such as downstream certificate properties.","ecosystems":["Bitnami"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Envoy doesn't escape HTTP header values","id":"CVE-2023-27493","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","product":"envoyproxy:envoy","products":["envoyproxy:envoy"],"type":"other","year":"2023"},"n_packages":1,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Streamlit Cross-site Scripting vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-27494"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["1.22.9","1.23.6","1.24.4","1.25.3"],"introduced":["0","1.23.0","1.24.0","1.25.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"envoy","purl":"pkg:bitnami/envoy","source":"BIT-envoy-2023-27493"}],"prev":{"headline":"Envoy may crash when a large request body is processed in Lua filter","id":"CVE-2023-27492"},"products":["envoy"],"published":"2023-04-04","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Trivial authentication bypass in Envoy","id":"CVE-2022-29226","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-06-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-18801","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-12-13"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-18802","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-12-13"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-35470","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-12-15"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Envoy ext auth can be bypassed when Proxy protocol filter sets invalid UTF-8 metadata","id":"CVE-2024-23324","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-09"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Envoy vulnerable to OAuth2 credentials exploit with permanent validity","id":"CVE-2023-35941","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-07-25"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Incorrect handling of H2 GOAWAY + SETTINGS frames","id":"CVE-2021-39162","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-09-09"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"Apache-2.0","name":"Bitnami","prefix":"BIT"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-02-11","vendors":["envoyproxy"]},"summary":"Attackers can inject illegal characters into HTTP headers, potentially causing request smuggling and bypassing security policies in Envoy proxy.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-27493/"}
