Heimdall is a cloud native Identity Aware Proxy and Access Control Decision service. Prior to version 0.17.14, Heimdall performs rule matching on the raw (non-normalized) request path, while downstream components may normalize dot-segments according to RFC 3986, Section 6.2.2.3. This discrepancy can result in heimdall authorizing a request for one path (e.g., /user/../admin, or URL-encoded variants such as /user/%2e%2e/admin or /user/%2e%2e%2fadmin. The latter would require the allow_encoded_slashes option to be set to on or no_decode.) while the downstream ultimately processes a different, normalized path (/admin). This issue has been patched in version 0.17.14.
AnalysisAI
Authorization bypass in Heimdall cloud-native Identity Aware Proxy allows remote unauthenticated attackers to circumvent access control policies via path normalization mismatches. Attackers can craft requests with encoded or relative path traversal sequences (e.g., /public/../admin, /user/%2e%2e/admin) that Heimdall evaluates against one rule while downstream services normalize to a different protected path, enabling unauthorized access to restricted resources or functionality. …
