SCA: security update for github.com/envoyproxy/gateway (GHSA-m2v6-2jmh-4c68)
medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 444799
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Envoy Gateway is an open source project for managing Envoy Proxy as a standalone or Kubernetes-based
application gateway. Prior to 1.7.4 and 1.8.1, translateSecurityPolicyForRoute in
internal/gatewayapi/securitypolicy.go dereferences a nil authorization value when a namespace-scoped
tenant creates a SecurityPolicy targeting a TCPRoute and omits spec.authorization. The persistent object
triggers the panic on every reconcile; recovery in message/watchutil.go keeps the process alive but
unwinds the runner/runner.go handle callback, stalling controller-wide xDS and infrastructure
intermediate-representation publishing until an administrator deletes the object. The data plane continues
to serve the last known good configuration while publication is stalled. This issue is fixed in versions
1.7.4 and 1.8.1. (CVE-2026-53719)
Solution
Update the github.com/envoyproxy/gateway library and its related packages to version 1.7.4 or later.See Also
