Synopsis

Ambassador API Gateway Diagnostics Sensitive Information Disclosure

Description

Ambassador API Gateway includes a diagnostics portal that provides detailed information about the API Gateway's configuration and operation. If this portal is accessible without proper authentication, it can expose sensitive information such as service mappings, API endpoints, routing configurations, and internal cluster information. An attacker could leverage this information to plan further attacks against the system.

Solution

Restrict access to administrative functionality, limiting access to known IP Addresses.
