Vulnerability Title
Heimdall: Case-sensitive handling of URL-encoded slashes may lead to inconsistent path interpretation
Source: NVD (National Vulnerability Database)
Vulnerability Description
Heimdall is a cloud native Identity Aware Proxy and Access Control Decision service. Prior to version 0.17.14, Heimdall handles URL-encoded slashes (%2F) in a case-sensitive manner, while percent-encoding is defined to be case-insensitive. As a result, the lowercase equivalent (%2f) is not recognized and therefore not processed as expected when allow_encoded_slashes is set to off (the default setting). This discrepancy can lead to differences in how request paths are interpreted by heimdall and upstream components, which may result in authorization bypass. This issue has been patched in version 0.17.14.

Heimdall 安全漏洞
Source: CNNVD (China National Vulnerability Database)
Vulnerability Description
Heimdall是LinuxServer.io开源的一个应用程序面板和启动器。 Heimdall 0.17.14之前版本存在安全漏洞，该漏洞源于以区分大小写方式处理URL编码的斜杠，而百分号编码定义为不区分大小写，当allow_encoded_slashes设置为off时小写等效形式不被识别，可能导致请求路径在heimdall和上游组件之间解释差异，导致授权绕过。
