Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-01-26 23:26 – Updated: 2026-01-29 03:24Impact
When running Skipper as an Ingress controller, users with permissions to create an Ingress and a Service of type ExternalName can create routes that enable them to use Skipper's network access to reach internal services.
Patches
https://github.com/zalando/skipper/releases/tag/v0.24.0 disables Kubernetes ExternalName by default.
Workarounds
Developers can allow list targets of an ExternalName by using -kubernetes-only-allowed-external-names=true and allow list via regular expressions -kubernetes-allowed-external-name '^[a-z][a-z0-9-.]+[.].allowed.example$'

Arc's user-SQL validator (internal/api/query.go:ValidateSQLRequest) blocked only read_parquet( and arc_partition_agg( via regex denylist. The broader DuckDB I/O function family — read_csv_auto, read_csv, read_json, read_json_auto, read_text, read_blob, glob, parquet_metadata, parquet_schema, read_xlsx, etc. — was not blocked. RBAC table-reference extraction inspected only FROM/JOIN clauses, so scalar table functions in the SELECT list slipped past both layers.
Impact
Any authenticated user, including a token with permissions: [], can read arbitrary local files via:
POST /api/v1/query
Authorization: Bearer <token>
{"sql": "SELECT * FROM read_csv_auto('/etc/passwd', header=false, columns={'l':'VARCHAR'}) LIMIT 5"}
Confirmed reachable targets:
auth.db— bcrypt hashes for every API token, plus legacy SHA-256 rows.arc.toml— S3 secrets, TLS keys./proc/self/environ— environment-variable secrets.- Cross-tenant Parquet files — bypasses RBAC because the tenant scope is enforced at the table layer, not on raw file paths.
- SSRF when
httpfsis loaded (any S3-backed deployment) —read_csv_auto('http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/...')reaches instance metadata IPs.
Patches
Fixed in 2026.06.1 (PR #442) via a structural sandbox at the DuckDB layer:
SET GLOBAL allowed_directories = [...]enumerates Arc's legitimate filesystem prefixes (storage roots + tier prefixes + import upload dir + compaction temp).SET GLOBAL enable_external_access = false(one-way at runtime).- Verified by reading back the flag.
After lockdown, DuckDB refuses to open any file outside the allowlist and refuses further INSTALL/LOAD. Already-loaded extensions remain callable.
Workarounds
- Restrict API access to known-trusted networks via firewall rules.
- Temporary mitigation: add
read_csv*/read_json*/globetc. todangerousSQLPatternininternal/api/query.gopending 2026.06.1.

CAPEC-664: Server Side Request Forgery
An adversary exploits improper input validation by submitting maliciously crafted input to a target application running on a server, with the goal of forcing the server to make a request either to itself, to web services running in the server’s internal network, or to external third parties. If successful, the adversary’s request will be made with the server’s privilege level, bypassing its authentication controls. This ultimately allows the adversary to access sensitive data, execute commands on the server’s network, and make external requests with the stolen identity of the server. Server Side Request Forgery attacks differ from Cross Site Request Forgery attacks in that they target the server itself, whereas CSRF attacks exploit an insecure user authentication mechanism to perform unauthorized actions on the user's behalf.
