critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 433726

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Envoy 1.9.0 and before does not normalize HTTP URL paths. A remote attacker may craft a relative path,
 e.g., something/../admin, to bypass access control, e.g., a block on /admin. A backend server could then
 interpret the non-normalized path and provide an attacker access beyond the scope provided for by the
 access control policy. (CVE-2019-9901)
