Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Contrast versions prior to 1.20.1
Description
A panic occurs in the
ciphertextContainer.UnmarshalJSON() function within the 'transit-engine' endpoint. The issue arises because the function fails to validate the length of the decoded ciphertext before performing a slicing operation. An authenticated workload possessing a valid mesh certificate can trigger this runtime panic by submitting a short base64-encoded ciphertext, which results in request failures and log spam, although the process does not crash.Recommendations
Update to version 1.20.1 or later.
