BIT-contour-2026-41246 — Contour: Lua code injection via Cookie Path Rewrite Policy

Affected: Bitnami: contour

Contour is a Kubernetes ingress controller using Envoy proxy. From v1.19.0 to before v1.33.4, v1.32.5, and v1.31.6, Contour's Cookie Rewriting feature is vulnerable to Lua code injection. An attacker with RBAC permissions to create or modify HTTPProxy resources can craft a malicious value in spec.routes[].cookieRewritePolicies[].pathRewrite.value or spec.routes[].services[].cookieRewritePolicies[].pathRewrite.value that results in arbitrary code execution in the Envoy proxy. The cookie rewriting feature is internally implemented using Envoy's HTTP Lua filter. User-controlled values are interpolated into Lua source code using Go text/template without sufficient sanitization. The injected code only executes when processing traffic on the attacker's own route, which they already control. However, since Envoy runs as shared infrastructure, the injected code can also read Envoy's xDS client credentials from the filesystem or cause denial of service for other tenants sharing the Envoy instance. This vulnerability is fixed in v1.33.4, v1.32.5, and v1.31.6.

GHSA-x4mj-7f9g-29h4 — Contour has Lua code injection via Cookie Path Rewrite Policy

Affected: Go: github.com/projectcontour/contour

### Impact

Contour's [Cookie Rewriting](https://projectcontour.io/docs/1.33/config/cookie-rewriting/) feature is vulnerable to Lua code injection. An attacker with RBAC permissions to create or modify `HTTPProxy` resources can craft a malicious value in the following fields that results in arbitrary code execution in the Envoy proxy:

- `spec.routes[].cookieRewritePolicies[].pathRewrite.value` - `spec.routes[].services[].cookieRewritePolicies[].pathRewrite.value`

The cookie rewriting feature is internally implemented using Envoy's [HTTP Lua filter](https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/configuration/http/http_filters/lua_filter). User-controlled values are interpolated into Lua source code using Go `text/template` without sufficient sanitization.

The injected code only executes when processing traffic on the attacker's own route, which they already control. However, since Envoy runs as shared infrastructure, the injected code can also:

- Read Envoy's xDS client credentials from the filesystem, which could be used to read all Contour xDS configuration, including TLS certificates and private keys of other tenants. - Cause denial of service for other tenants sharing the Envoy instance.

Other use cases of Lua filter are not vulnerable.

### Patches

The fix is available in Contour [v1.33.4](https://github.com/projectcontour/contour/releases/tag/v1.33.4), [v1.32.5](https://github.com/projectcontour/contour/releases/tag/v1.32.5), and [v1.31.6](https://github.com/project…
