An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-42272 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- github.com/dadrus/heimdall (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 0.17.14\n- github.com/dadrus/heimdall (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 0.17.14\n- github.com/dadrus/heimdall (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 0.17.14\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-2026-42272/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-42272/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-42272","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-42272/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-42272","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-43jv-5j4x-qv67","GO-2026-5108"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Identity Aware Proxy","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass authorization checks by using lowercase URL-encoded slashes, exploiting inconsistent path interpretation in Heimdall.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:H/SI:H/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-436","name":"Interpretation Conflict"},{"id":"CWE-178","name":"Improper Handling of Case Sensitivity"}],"description":"Heimdall is a cloud native Identity Aware Proxy and Access Control Decision service. Prior to version 0.17.14, Heimdall handles URL-encoded slashes (%2F) in a case-sensitive manner, while percent-encoding is defined to be case-insensitive. As a result, the lowercase equivalent (%2f) is not recognized and therefore not processed as expected when allow_encoded_slashes is set to off (the default setting). This discrepancy can lead to differences in how request paths are interpreted by heimdall and upstream components, which may result in authorization bypass.
