CVE-2024-10295 (GCVE-0-2024-10295)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2024-10-24 17:55 – Updated: 2025-11-20 07:09
VLAI?
Summary
A flaw was found in Gateway. Sending a non-base64 'basic' auth with special characters can cause APICast to incorrectly authenticate a request. A malformed basic authentication header containing special characters bypasses authentication and allows unauthorized access to the backend. This issue can occur due to a failure in the base64 decoding process, which causes APICast to skip the rest of the authentication checks and proceed with routing the request upstream.
Severity ?
