Title

Cilium: Sensitive information disclosure and cluster disruption via local Envoy admin socket access

Summary

Cilium is a networking, observability, and security solution. Prior to 1.17.14, 1.18.8, and 1.19.2, when Cilium L7 functionality is enabled, the embedded or standalone Envoy instance creates a world-accessible admin.sock on cluster nodes, allowing a local attacker to access Envoy admin endpoints, expose TLS secrets, disrupt cluster traffic, or terminate Envoy. This issue is fixed in versions 1.17.14, 1.18.8, and 1.19.2.

Severity

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-07-06 17:03 – Updated: 2026-07-06 17:03

Summary

Cilium vulnerable to sensitive information disclosure and cluster disruption via local Envoy admin socket access

Details

Impact

When Cilium L7 functionality is enabled on a cluster, the Envoy instance supporting this functionality creates a world-accessible socket on cluster nodes. A local attacker would be able to access Envoy admin endpoints. Depending on deployment configuration, this can expose sensitive information or allow disruptive administrative operations, such as:

Exposing TLS secrets
Disrupting traffic in the cluster
Terminating the Envoy process

This issue affects both the embedded and standalone Envoy deployment models.

Patches

This issue affects:

Cilium v1.19 between v1.19.0 and v1.19.1 inclusive
Cilium v1.18 between v1.18.0 and v1.18.7 inclusive
All versions of Cilium prior to v1.17.14

This issue has been patched in https://github.com/cilium/cilium/pull/44512, included in:

Cilium v1.19.2
Cilium v1.18.8
Cilium v1.17.14

Workarounds

There is no known workaround to this issue.

Acknowledgements

The Cilium community has worked together with members of Isovalent to prepare these mitigations. Special thanks to moemen for reporting the issue and 0xch4z for their work on triaging and remediating this issue.
