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-2026-73552 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- envoy (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 1.36.10, 1.37.6, 1.38.4, 1.39.1\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-2026-73552/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-73552/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-73552","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-73552/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-73552","record":{"aliases":["BIT-envoy-2026-73552","GHSA-23xh-2qxr-3xv8","MINI-2v24-rcx9-g5mh","MINI-3vfc-25jf-f449","MINI-gfwq-5jpm-m3jf","MINI-whvg-vwww-5f8h"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Envoy proxy","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass HTTP RBAC restrictions in Envoy by crafting headers with specific bytes that cause regex matchers to fail open, allowing access to denied routes.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"envoy","vendor":"envoyproxy"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"Envoy is an open source edge and service proxy designed for cloud-native applications. Prior to 1.36.10, 1.37.6, 1.38.4, and 1.39.1, Envoy HTTP RBAC accepts RFC-valid opaque header bytes but evaluates safe_regex values with RE2's UTF-8 subject semantics. A downstream client can preserve a prohibited marker and add an unrelated obs-text octet, causing RE2::FullMatch to return false and a negative RBAC policy to treat the invalid subject as an ordinary no-match. A byte-oriented route matcher can still observe the marker, allowing the request to reach a route intended to be denied. The relevant scope boundary is that plain positive ALLOW regexes normally fail closed, and exact, prefix, suffix, and contains matchers are not shown to have this subject-domain failure. This issue is fixed in versions 1.36.10, 1.37.6, 1.38.4, and 1.39.1.","ecosystems":["Bitnami"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Envoy: HTTP RBAC safe_regex can fail open on RFC-valid obs-text header values","id":"CVE-2026-73552","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","product":"envoyproxy:envoy","products":["envoyproxy:envoy"],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2026"},"n_packages":1,"n_references":9,"next":{"headline":"Envoy: RBAC Authorization Bypass via Path Parameters","id":"CVE-2026-73553"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["1.36.10","1.37.6","1.38.4","1.39.1"],"introduced":["0","1.37.0","1.38.0","1.39.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"envoy","purl":"pkg:bitnami/envoy","source":"BIT-envoy-2026-73552"}],"prev":{"headline":"Envoy: Path normalization does not handle dot and dotdot segments with parameters","id":"CVE-2026-73551"},"products":["envoy"],"published":"2026-09-21","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":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-09-22","vendors":["envoyproxy"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass HTTP RBAC restrictions in Envoy by crafting headers with specific bytes that cause regex matchers to fail open, allowing access to denied routes.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-73552/"}
