CVE-2025-64763  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-693  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade envoyproxy/envoy to version 1.33.13, 1.34.11, 1.35.7, 1.36.3 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Protection Mechanism Failure in the handling of TCP proxy mode. An attacker can cause a desynchronized tunnel state between the proxy and upstream servers by sending data for a CONNECT request before a 2xx response is issued, which is then forwarded upstream even if the tunnel is not successfully established.

Notes:

  • To prevent disruption to existing deployments, early CONNECT data will still be allowed. Fixing this vulnerability requires setting the envoy.reloadable_features.reject_early_connect_data runtime flag to true after updating.
