Synopsis

Envoy Admin Interface Exposed

Description

The Envoy Admin interface is an optional Envoy component that lets you view configuration and statistics, modify server behavior and filter traffic according to specific filter rules.

But this unauthenticated interface can expose private information about the running service, allows modification of runtime settings and can also be used to shut the server down.

Solution

Restrict access to the Envoy Admin interface or remove it.
