Title
Apache APISIX: attach-consumer-label does not strip client-supplied consumer-label headers
Summary
Reliance on Untrusted Inputs in a Security Decision vulnerability in Apache APISIX.
This vulnerability allows an attacker to escalate privilege or perform an authorization bypass by sending certain values that the attach-consumer-label plugin does not sanitise correctly.
This issue affects Apache APISIX: from 3.11.0 through 3.17.0.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.18.0, which fixes the issue.
