CVE-2025-15566 Details
Description
A security issue was discovered in ingress-nginx where the `nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-proxy-set-headers` Ingress annotation can be used to inject configuration into nginx. This can lead to arbitrary code execution in the context of the ingress-nginx controller, and disclosure of Secrets accessible to the controller. (Note that in the default installation, the controller can access all Secrets cluster-wide.)
A vulnerability in ingress-nginx allows the `nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-proxy-set-headers` Ingress annotation to inject configuration into nginx. This injection can result in arbitrary code execution within the ingress-nginx controller and the unauthorized disclosure of Secrets accessible to the controller. By default, the controller has access to all Secrets across the cluster.
Users are advised to upgrade ingress-nginx to version 1.12.5, 1.13.1, or any later version. For upgrade instructions, refer to the official documentation on upgrading ingress-nginx.
