Description

Cilium leaks sensitive information in cilium-bugtool

Impact

The output of cilium-bugtool can contain sensitive data when the tool is run (with the --envoy-dump flag set) against Cilium deployments with the Envoy proxy enabled.

Users of the following features are affected:

  • [TLS inspection](https://docs.cilium.io/en/stable/security/tls-visibility/#gs-tls-inspection)
  • [Ingress with TLS termination](https://docs.cilium.io/en/stable/network/servicemesh/tls-termination/#gs-ingress-tls)
  • [Gateway API with TLS termination](https://docs.cilium.io/en/stable/network/servicemesh/gateway-api/https/)
  • [Kafka network policies with API key filtering](https://docs.cilium.io/en/stable/security/policy/language/#kafka-beta)

The sensitive data includes:

  • The CA certificate, certificate chain, and private key used by Cilium HTTP Network Policies, and when using Ingress/Gateway API
  • The API keys used in Kafka-related network policy

cilium-bugtool is a debugging tool that is typically invoked manually and does not run during the normal operation of a Cilium cluster.
