Apache APISIX Authentication Bypass Vulnerability (CVE-2022-24112)

A remote attacker, without authentication, can achieve full data confidentiality loss, arbitrary modification of data, complete denial of service or system unavailability. Federal agencies are required to remediate by 2022-09-15 under CISA BOD 22-01.

This is a Software Vulnerability (CWE-290) (CWE-290) vulnerability in Apache APISIX. 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. Exploitation requires remote network access, low attack complexity, no authentication required, and no user interaction required.

Probably yes if any of these apply:
