Upgrade github.com/zalando/skipper/filters/openpolicyagent/opaauthorizerequest to version 0.27.35 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization through ExtractHttpBodyOptionally in filters/openpolicyagent/openpolicyagent.go and AdaptToExtAuthRequest in filters/openpolicyagent/internal/envoy/skipperadapter.go. An attacker can get an oversized request body authorized and forwarded to the upstream service by sending the request with chunked framing or over HTTP/2 so no Content-Length is present. In that path, Skipper truncates the body for OPA inspection, but the body-truncation signal is not carried into the ext-authz request, so policies that gate on input.truncated_body evaluate as if the body were complete. This lets a remote client bypass body-based access control and send content that the policy was meant to reject, exposing protected actions or data to the upstream application.
