CVE-2026-94269: Apache APISIX: Servlet-style normalization creates a route/upstream authorization mismatch

Severity: 
    CVSS 4.0: 6.3 (medium) CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:L/SA:N

Affected versions:

- Apache APISIX 2.14.1 through 3.18.0

Description:

Use of Non-Canonical URL paths for authorization decisions vulnerability in Apache APISIX.



In some configurations where a permissive route overlaps a protected one, a crafted encoded path can reach an upstream endpoint that the matched route's policies were never meant to cover. A request that should have been rejected is served instead, giving unauthenticated access to a protected upstream endpoint. This issue affects Apache APISIX: from 2.14.1 through 3.18.0.



Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.19.0, which fixes the issue.
