CVE-2026-50149
### Impact When an `HTTPProxy` is configured with incompatible combination of both `.spec.virtualhost.tls.enableFallbackCertificate: true` and `.spec.virtualhost.jwtProviders`, Contour does not reject the configuration. Consequently, requests from clients that do not send TLS SNI or send an unrecognized SNI (one that does not match any `HTTPProxy` FQDN) bypass configured JWT verification and are proxied to upstream services without a valid token. To list all `HTTPProxies` with this invalid configuration, run ```bash kubectl get httpproxies -A -o json | jq -r ' .items[] | select(.spec.virtualhost | .tls.enableFallbackCertificate and .jwtProviders) | "Invalid HTTPProxy found: \(.metadata.namespace)/\(.metadata.name)" ' ``` ### Patches This issue is fixed in Contour v1.33.5. Contour now rejects and marks invalid any `HTTPProxy` resources that combine `.spec.virtualhost.tls.enableFallbackCertificate: true` with `.spec.virtualhost.jwtProviders`. Affected resources will receive a status condition with the error reason `TLSIncompatibleFeatures`. ### Workarounds Do not enable `.spec.virtualhost.tls.enableFallbackCertificate` on `HTTPProxy` resources that also define `.spec.virtualhost.jwtProviders`. Remove one of the two settings to avoid the invalid configuration. ### References - Contour fallback certificate documentation: https://projectcontour.io/docs/main/config/tls-termination/#fallback-certificate - Contour JWT verification documentation: https://projectcontour.io/docs/main/config/jwt-verification/
