CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedCalico's Application Layer Policy, specifically its Dikastes component, is vulnerable due to improper URL path normalization, allowing HTTP requests with path-traversal segments or encoded slashes to bypass intended restrictions. This flaw could enable an attacker with network access to access restricted HTTP endpoints, undermining the security policies in place. Organizations utilizing Calico's Application Layer Policy should prioritize remediation to safeguard against potential unauthorized access.

Original NVD Description
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.
