Versions prior to 1.27.0, 1.26.4, 1.25.9, 1.24.10, and 1.23.12 are affected by this vulnerability.

The danger posed by this vulnerability is rated as high, with a base severity score of 7.5 out of 10 according to NIST's National Vulnerability Database (NVD). To remediate the vulnerability, users are advised to update their Envoy installations to versions that include the fix (1.27.0, 1.26.4, 1.25.9, 1.24.10, or 1.23.12), or alternatively, avoid removing the 'origin' header in the Envoy configuration as a temporary workaround.
