Technical ContextAI · show details

This vulnerability is classified as Incorrect Default Permissions (CWE-276), which allows attackers to access resources due to overly permissive default settings. Cilium is a networking, observability, and security solution with an eBPF-based dataplane. Starting in version 1.14.0 and prior to versions 1.14.16 and 1.15.10, a policy rule denying a prefix that is broader than /32 may be ignored if there is a policy rule referencing a more narrow prefix (CIDRSet or toFQDN) and this narrower policy rule specifies either enableDefaultDeny: false or - toEntities: all. Note that a rule specifying toEntities: world or toEntities: 0.0.0.0/0 is insufficient, it must be to entity all.This issue has been patched in Cilium v1.14.16 and v1.15.10. As this issue only affects policies using enableDefaultDeny: false or that set toEntities to all, some workarounds are available. For users with policies using enableDefaultDeny: false, remove this configuration option and explicitly define any allow rules required. For users with egress policies that explicitly specify toEntities: all, use toEntities: world. Affected products include: Cilium. Version information: version 1.14.0.

What every action level means

Emergency Immediate action required. Criteria: CRITICAL + in CISA KEV (actively exploited) without patch, OR CRITICAL + EPSS > 30% without patch, OR CRITICAL + active threat signals without patch.

Act Now Prioritize within 24-48h. Criteria: in KEV with patch available, OR CRITICAL + public POC, OR HIGH + EPSS > 10%, OR CRITICAL + active threat, OR any CRITICAL severity.

This Week Schedule remediation this week. Criteria: HIGH severity (CVSS 7.0-8.9). Patch within normal change window.

This Month Plan within 30 days. Criteria: MEDIUM severity (CVSS 4.0-6.9), lower exploitation probability. Include in regular patch cycle.

Monitor Track and reassess. Criteria: LOW severity (CVSS 0.1-3.9), minimal exploitation risk. No immediate action needed.
