CVE-2024-37307: Cilium leaks sensitive information in cilium-bugtool
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
- Ingress with TLS termination
- Gateway API with TLS termination
- Kafka network policies with API key filtering
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.
