DescriptionGitHub Advisory

Cilium is a networking, observability, and security solution with an eBPF-based dataplane. Versions 1.18.0 through 1.18.5 will incorrectly permit traffic from Pods on other nodes when Native Routing, WireGuard and Node Encryption are enabled. This issue has been fixed in version 1.18.6.

AnalysisAI

Cilium versions 1.18.0-1.18.5 with Native Routing, WireGuard, and Node Encryption enabled incorrectly allow cross-node Pod traffic that should be blocked, enabling unauthorized network access between isolated workloads. An attacker with network access to pods on different nodes can bypass network segmentation policies to access restricted services. The vulnerability affects deployments using these specific Cilium configurations and is resolved in version 1.18.6.
