Envoy

https://www.envoyproxy.io/

  • Tested version: v1.14.4

Basics

  • case-sensitive for verbs
  • doesn't support HTTP/0.9
  • set HTTP/1.1 for the backend by default
  • doesn't support Max-Forwards

Headers

  • doesn't allow >1 Host header if it has a strict list of values (returns 404)
  • allow >1 Host header if domains: ["*"] (values concatinated Host: hostheadervalue1,hostheadervalue2)
    • the same for Origin, but not for all headers
  • allow multiple headers with the same name (it forwards all of them keeping the order)
  • allow underscore (_) in the header name (if no headers_with_underscores_action)
  • adds headers to the request to the back end (use_remote_address: false): x-forwarded-proto, x-request-id, x-envoy-expected-rq-timeout-ms:
    • allow to rewrite x-request-id and x-forwarded-proto headers
  • adds headers to the request to the back end (use_remote_address: true): x-forwarded-for, x-envoy-external-address, x-forwarded-proto, x-request-id, x-envoy-expected-rq-timeout-ms:
    • in case of x-forwarded-for, it will be added to proxy's request (examplezzz.com, example2.com)
  • adds x-envoy-original-path if prefix_rewrite or regex_rewrite is used
  • it converts req header names to lower case before sending to the back end server (User-Agent: -> user-agent:)
  • before <1.9.1 (CVE-2019-9900), it allows Null byte in headers (https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/blob/master/security/postmortems/cve-2019-9900.md)

Req processing

  • doesn't normalize the path (depends on configuration)
  • /!"$&'()*+,-./:;<=>@[\]^_`{|}~#?a -> /!"$&'()*+,-./:;<=>@[\]^_`{|}~#?a
  • %00-%FF -> %00-%FF
  • doesn't urldecode the path before applying rules (depends on configuration)
  • doesn't forward raw bytes (0x01-0x20, > 0x80) in path (400 error)
  • before <1.9.1 (CVE-2019-9901), it doesn't normalize path (https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/blob/master/security/postmortems/cve-2019-9900.md)

Absolute-URI

  • supports Absolute-URI with higher priority under host header
  • any scheme in Absolute-URI
  • allows @ in Absolute-URI

Fingerprint

  • Some headers are changed to lower case
  • Additional headers
