securityCVE-2026-73511 URL path-parameter normalization
Applies if URL normalization runs.
Envoy corrects URL normalization to strip path parameters from individual path segments according to RFC 3986 section 3.3. The behavior is controlled by
envoy.; the advisory is CVE-2026-73511, GHSA-m745-gh6x-349x.reloadable_features. strip_path_parameters_per_segment securityCVE-2026-73512 HTTP/3 frame handling
Applies if
http3runs.Envoy fixes a use-after-free triggered by a specifically timed sequence of HTTP/3 frames. The advisory is CVE-2026-73512, GHSA-r6j2-mrm5-72mg.
securityCVE-2026-73513 HTTP/2 trailer handling
Applies if
http2runs.Envoy fixes abnormal process termination when HTTP/2 trailers arrive without the
END_STREAMflag. The advisory is CVE-2026-73513, GHSA-jjmm-fw8p-crpw.securityCVE-2026-73546 Admin HTML stat-name sanitization
Applies if
adminruns andenvoy.is enabled.reloadable_features. sanitize_html_stats_names The admin interface now sanitizes stat names before converting them to HTML. The change is guarded by
envoy.; the advisory is CVE-2026-73546, GHSA-pv9h-4fxf-7vrg.reloadable_features. sanitize_html_stats_names securityCVE-2026-73547
ext_authzrequests without URI pathsApplies if
ext_authzruns.Envoy fixes abnormal process termination in
ext_authzfor requests without a URI path, includingCONNECTrequests. The advisory is CVE-2026-73547, GHSA-87ph-jqwm-pg6r.securityCVE-2026-73548 Generic HTTP upgrade request-body handling
Applies if
httpruns and you use generic HTTP upgrades.Envoy pauses payload handling before a generic HTTP upgrade is accepted, preventing the payload from being interpreted as a pipelined HTTP/1 request and poisoning a shared upstream connection. The behavior is controlled by
envoy.; the advisory is CVE-2026-73548, GHSA-3vhp-c83q-jqc2.reloadable_features. http_pause_generic_upgrade_request_body securityCVE-2026-73549 QUIC scoped IPv6 address handling
Applies if
quicruns.Envoy fixes a crash when handling scoped IPv6 addresses in QUIC client connections and Original Dst clusters. The advisory is CVE-2026-73549, GHSA-jp5f-qr64-c9vw.
securityCVE-2026-73550 HTTP/2 dropped
Hostheader accountingApplies if
http2runs.Dropped
Hostheaders now count toward HTTP/2 request header map size and count limits. The behavior is controlled byenvoy.; the advisory is CVE-2026-73550, GHSA-qgf6-qvhw-4hvh.reloadable_features. http2_track_size_of_dropped_host_header securityCVE-2026-73551 Dot-segment path-parameter normalization
Applies if
normalize_pathis enabled.URL normalization now strips path parameters from dot and dotdot segments such as
/.and; /., so canonicalization interprets them correctly. The change applies with. ; normalize_pathenabled and can be reverted withenvoy.; the advisory is CVE-2026-73551, GHSA-2w8w-rfw7-8gg4.reloadable_features. strip_dotdot_segments_with_parameters securityCVE-2026-73552
safe_regexLatin1 charset modeApplies if
safe_regexruns.The
safe_regexcharset mode switches from UTF-8 to Latin1 because HTTP headers are not UTF-8 encoded. The behavior is controlled byenvoy.; the advisory is CVE-2026-73552, GHSA-23xh-2qxr-3xv8.reloadable_features. re2_use_latin1_mode securityCVE-2026-73553 RBAC path-parameter matching
Applies if
rbacruns and the route configuresignore_path_parameters_in_path_matching.RBAC path matching now respects the route's
ignore_path_parameters_in_path_matching, preventing authorization bypass through appended path parameters. The behavior is controlled byenvoy.; the advisory is CVE-2026-73553, GHSA-77x5-xqjg-hprq.reloadable_features. rbac_respect_ignore_path_parameters securityCVE-2026-50572 HTTP
ext_authzrejection handlingApplies if
ext_authzruns and it uses HTTP.Envoy fixes a use-after-free in
ext_authzover HTTP when the external authorization service causes a request to be rejected. The advisory is CVE-2026-50572, GHSA-q8wp-gf7q-m8cv.securityCVE-2026-48521 HTTP/3 ALPN protocol handling
Applies if
http3runs.Envoy fixes abnormal process termination when the upstream protocol is selected through ALPN and the server uses HTTP/3. The advisory is CVE-2026-48521, GHSA-5vff-j9p4-38j3.
