CVE-2021-43557apache software foundationapache apisix+1
EPSS score12.94%
The uri-block plugin in Apache APISIX before 2.10.2 uses $request_uri without verification. The $request_uri is the full original request URI without normalization. This makes it possible to construct a URI to bypass the block list on some occasions. For instance, when the block list contains "^/internal/", a URI like `//internal/` can be used to bypass it. Some other plugins also have the same issue. And it may affect the developer's custom plugin.CVE-2025-62232apache software foundationapache apisix+1EPSS score0.48%
Sensitive data exposure via logging in basic-auth leads to plaintext usernames and passwords written to error logs and forwarded to log sinks when log level is INFO/DEBUG. This creates a high risk of credential compromise through log access.
It has been fixed in the following commit: https://github.com/apache/apisix/pull/12629
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.14, which fixes this issue.CVE-2025-27446apache software foundationapache apisix java plugin runner+1EPSS score0.21%
Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource vulnerability in Apache APISIX(java-plugin-runner).
Local listening file permissions in APISIX plugin runner allow a local attacker to elevate privileges.
This issue affects Apache APISIX(java-plugin-runner): from 0.2.0 through 0.5.0.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 0.6.0 or higher, which fixes the issue.CVE-2025-46647apache software foundationapache apisix+1EPSS score0.48%
A vulnerability of plugin openid-connect in Apache APISIX.
This vulnerability will only have an impact if all of the following conditions are met:
1. Use the openid-connect plugin with introspection mode
2. The auth service connected to openid-connect provides services to multiple issuers
3. Multiple issuers share the same private key and relies only on the issuer being different
If affected by this vulnerability, it would allow an attacker with a valid account on one of the issuers to log into the other issuer.
This issue affects Apache APISIX: until 3.12.0.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.12.0 or higher.CVE-2020-13945apache software foundationapache apisix+1EPSS score72.98%
In Apache APISIX, the user enabled the Admin API and deleted the Admin API access IP restriction rules. Eventually, the default token is allowed to access APISIX management data. This affects versions 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5.CVE-2022-25757apache software foundationapache apisix+1EPSS score2.48%
In Apache APISIX before 2.13.0, when decoding JSON with duplicate keys, lua-cjson will choose the last occurred value as the result. By passing a JSON with a duplicate key, the attacker can bypass the body_schema validation in the request-validation plugin. For example, `{"string_payload":"bad","string_payload":"good"}` can be used to hide the "bad" input. Systems satisfy three conditions below are affected by this attack: 1. use body_schema validation in the request-validation plugin 2. upstream application uses a special JSON library that chooses the first occurred value, like jsoniter or gojay 3. upstream application does not validate the input anymore. The fix in APISIX is to re-encode the validated JSON input back into the request body at the side of APISIX. Improper Input Validation vulnerability in __COMPONENT__ of Apache APISIX allows an attacker to __IMPACT__. This issue affects Apache APISIX Apache APISIX version 2.12.1 and prior versions.CVE-2022-29266apache software foundationapache apisix+1EPSS score8.14%
In APache APISIX before 3.13.1, the jwt-auth plugin has a security issue that leaks the user's secret key because the error message returned from the dependency lua-resty-jwt contains sensitive information.CVE-2022-24112apache software foundationapache apisix+1KEVEPSS score96.07%
An attacker can abuse the batch-requests plugin to send requests to bypass the IP restriction of Admin API. A default configuration of Apache APISIX (with default API key) is vulnerable to remote code execution. When the admin key was changed or the port of Admin API was changed to a port different from the data panel, the impact is lower. But there is still a risk to bypass the IP restriction of Apache APISIX's data panel. There is a check in the batch-requests plugin which overrides the client IP with its real remote IP. But due to a bug in the code, this check can be bypassed.CVE-2024-32638apache software foundationapache apisix+1EPSS score1.06%
