REDHAT-BUG-2179135

First published: Thu Mar 16 2023(Updated: )

The header x-envoy-original-path should be an internal header, but Envoy does not remove this header from the request at the beginning of request processing when it is sent from an untrusted client. The faked header would then be used for trace logs and grpc logs, as well as used in the URL used for jwt_authn checks if the jwt_authn filter is used, and any other upstream use of the x-envoy-original-path header.
