Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Incorrect authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-104149)

CWE-ID: CWE-863 - Incorrect Authorization

CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to bypass Cilium ingress host policies and L7 network policies to reach protected pods.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect packet classification that skips policy enforcement when TCX attachment is enabled and Cilium attaches to both a VLAN interface and its parent. An unauthenticated remote attacker can send traffic from outside an affected node to targeted pods and establish connections that those policies should deny.
