Subject: CVE-2026-124680: Apache APISIX: Route-level authentication bypass
 via path normalization mismatch between routing and upstream forwarding 

Severity: 
    CVSS 4.0: 7.0 (high) CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:H/SI:H/SA:N

Affected versions:

- Apache APISIX 0.9 through 3.19.0

Description:

Interpretation Conflict, resulting in (Incorrect Authorization) vulnerability in Apache APISIX.



An unauthenticated client can reach upstream paths protected
by a route-level auth plugin when a route without auth exists on the
same upstream and the upstream does not collapse encoded dot segments.



This issue affects Apache APISIX: from 0.9 through 3.19.0.



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