Network policy bypass via discarded broad CIDR deny
Published Oct 21, 2024 · Updated Oct 21, 2024
Policy enforcement bypass in Cilium 1.14.0 through 1.14.15 and 1.15.0 through 1.15.9 allows remote attackers to reach denied CIDRs. The denyPreferredInsertWithChanges logic treats a broad deny entry as redundant and removes it when a narrower allow entry is inserted. Exposure requires a broader-than-/32 deny plus a narrower CIDRSet or toFQDN rule using enableDefaultDeny false or toEntities all, allowing traffic that the broader rule should block.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
