NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream calico-3.29-typha-client package and not the calico-3.29-typha-client package as distributed by Minimos. See How to fix? for Minimos:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

Calico's Application Layer Policy (disabled by default), which enforces HTTP rules through Dikastes, fails to perform URL path normalization. As a result, HTTP requests using path-traversal segments, encoded slashes, or repeated slashes are not correctly evaluated by Prefix path rules. Dikastes authorizes the request under the permitted prefix while the downstream workload or a fronting proxy normalizes the path and serves the restricted endpoint. An attacker with network access and no special RBAC can potentially reach HTTP endpoints the policy was intended to restrict.
