MEDIUMPre-NVD 6.56.5
EchelonGraph scoreLOW confidence

This medium-severity CVE scores 6.5 under the CNA's CVSS (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit-prediction score not yet available (the EPSS model rescores nightly; freshly-published CVEs typically appear within 48 hours). GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).

Envoy Gateway: Nil-dereference when SecurityPolicy targets TCPRoute without spec.authorization

Vulnerability report without repro case. Repro case may be added later after harness is complete.

Preconditions (4):

  • Tenant has SecurityPolicy + TCPRoute RBAC (baseline)
  • Tenant namespace permitted to attach TCPRoute to a Gateway listener
  • spec.authorization omitted (the trigger)
  • No admission webhook blocks the shape

Description:

A namespace-scoped tenant can deterministically panic the gatewayapi runner on every reconcile with a single CRD; the recover() in message/watchutil.go:53 keeps the process alive but unwinds the entire handle() callback in runner/runner.go:192, so xDS/Infra IR publishing stalls controller-wide until an admin deletes the object. Data plane keeps serving last-good config.

EG Risk 34/100SSVC: Track

EG Risk is EchelonGraph's 0–100 priority score: it fuses intrinsic severity with real-world exploitation and automatability so you can rank equal-severity CVEs and fix the most dangerous first. Higher = act sooner. Distinct from the 0–10 EG Score (severity).
