CVE-2026-34457
CVSS v3.1
9.1
Critical
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
OAuth2 Proxy versions prior to 7.15.2
Description
A configuration-dependent authentication bypass exists in deployments using auth request-style integration, such as nginx auth request. The issue occurs when either the
--ping-user-agent variable is set or the --gcp-healthchecks variable is enabled. In these cases, the software treats any request containing the configured health check User-Agent value as a successful health check, regardless of the requested path. This allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to bypass authentication and access protected upstream resources.Recommendations
Update to version 7.15.2.
Disable
--gcp-healthchecks.
Remove any configured --ping-user-agent.
Ensure the reverse proxy does not forward client-controlled User-Agent headers to the OAuth2 Proxy auth subrequest.
Use path-based health checks only on dedicated health check endpoints.Fix
Authentication Bypass by Spoofing
