From bb9ffa87ffcb9eb57d9ec6acdb4deeb280fc65f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yossi Ovadia Date: Fri, 6 Mar 2026 10:19:06 -0800 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] security: add trust_identity_headers config to prevent auth header spoofing (#1445) Without an auth backend, identity headers (x-authz-user-id, x-authz-user-groups) come directly from the client and can be spoofed. This allows any client to impersonate any user, bypassing role-based routing, per-user rate limits, and memory isolation. Fix: add authz.trust_identity_headers config flag (default: true for backward compatibility). When set to false, the router strips identity headers from incoming requests and logs a warning. - Add TrustIdentityHeaders field to AuthzConfig (pointer for nil = default true) - Add ShouldTrustIdentityHeaders() method - Strip identity headers in handleRequestHeaders when trust is disabled - Default true preserves backward compatibility with existing auth backend deployments (ext_authz, Envoy Gateway JWT, oauth2-proxy, etc.) Deployments without an auth backend should set: authz: trust_identity_headers: false Fixes #1445 Signed-off-by: Yossi Ovadia --- e2e/config/config.session-affinity-demo.yaml | 189 +++++++++ e2e/config/envoy.session-affinity-demo.yaml | 109 +++++ e2e/config/router-runtime.json | 6 + e2e/testing/10-security-audit-test.py | 383 ++++++++++++++++++ src/semantic-router/pkg/config/config.go | 21 + .../pkg/extproc/processor_req_header.go | 19 + 6 files changed, 727 insertions(+) create mode 100644 e2e/config/config.session-affinity-demo.yaml create mode 100644 e2e/config/envoy.session-affinity-demo.yaml create mode 100644 e2e/config/router-runtime.json create mode 100644 e2e/testing/10-security-audit-test.py diff --git a/e2e/config/config.session-affinity-demo.yaml b/e2e/config/config.session-affinity-demo.yaml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..ed1ccb499d --- /dev/null +++ b/e2e/config/config.session-affinity-demo.yaml @@ -0,0 +1,189 @@ +# Session Affinity Demo Config +# Demonstrates the route-bouncing problem in multi-turn conversations. +# +# Setup: +# - "expensive" model: Claude via claude-code-proxy on port 11480 +# - "cheap" model: qwen2.5:0.5b (0.5B params) on Ollama port 11434 +# +# Routing logic: +# - Complex queries (complexity signal "hard") → Claude (expensive) +# - Simple queries (complexity signal "easy") → qwen2.5:0.5b (cheap) +# +# The demo scenario: +# 1.
