Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Contour versions from 1.19.0 before 1.31.6, from 1.32.0 before 1.32.5, and from 1.33.0 before 1.33.4 are vulnerable to Lua code injection through the cookie rewrite path value fields in HTTPProxy resources. An attacker who can create or modify HTTPProxy resources could run arbitrary code in the Envoy proxy, which could expose xDS credentials and other tenants' TLS keys or cause denial of service. Upgrade to Contour 1.31.6, 1.32.5, or 1.33.4; version 1.33.4 requires Envoy 1.35.0 or later. No workaround is listed.
