Last modified
CVE-2026-49445 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.8/10 on the CVSS scale. Cilium is a networking, observability, and security solution. Prior to 1.17.14, 1.18.8, and 1.19.2, when Cilium L7 functionality is enabled, the embedded or standalone Envoy instance creates a world-accessible admin.sock on cluster nodes, allowing a local attacker to access Envoy admin endpoints, expose TLS secrets, disrupt cluster traffic, or terminate Envoy. EPSS estimates a 0.17% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
