Tigera · Calico · CVE-2026-6540
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Calico (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
The Application Layer Policy, which uses Dikastes to enforce HTTP rules, does not perform URL path normalization. This allows HTTP requests containing repeated slashes, encoded slashes, or path-traversal segments to bypass Prefix path rules. While Dikastes authorizes the request based on the permitted prefix, a fronting proxy or the downstream workload normalizes the path, granting an attacker with network access to restricted HTTP endpoints.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
