Published Nov 13, 2026 · Updated Nov 13, 2026 · Assigned by apache

Description

Interpretation Conflict, resulting in (Incorrect Authorization) vulnerability in Apache APISIX.

An unauthenticated client can reach upstream paths protected
by a route-level auth plugin when a route without auth exists on the
same upstream and the upstream does not collapse encoded dot segments.

This issue affects Apache APISIX: from 0.9 through 3.19.0.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.20.0, which fixes the issue.
