Subject: CVE-2026-124666: Apache APISIX: Multi-auth preserves
 client-supplied Wolf identity headers 

Severity: 
    CVSS 4.0: 6.4 (medium) CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:H/SI:H/SA:N

Affected versions:

- Apache APISIX 3.8.0 through 3.19.0

Description:

Authentication bypass by spoofing vulnerability in Apache APISIX.



On a route where multi-auth falls back from wolf-rbac to another successful authenticator, client-supplied Wolf identity headers can remain in the request. A downstream service that relies on those documented headers may therefore receive an identity that was not established by the successful authenticator.



This issue affects Apache APISIX: from 3.8.0 through 3.19.0.



Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.20.0, which fixes the issue.
