Preface: API Gateway can be helpful for ChatGPT plugin developers to expose, secure, manage, and monitor their API endpoints. This repo demonstrates how to use Apache APISIX API Gateway as a front door for communication between ChatGPT custom plugins and backend APIs. For more details, please refer to the link – https://github.com/Boburmirzo/apisix-chatgpt-gateway-plugin
Background: The primary design objective of Apache APISIX is to provide a high-performance, cloud-native API gateway that can handle a large volume of API traffic and microservices, with a focus on flexibility, scalability, and dynamic configuration management. It aims to be a unified proxy infrastructure for various scenarios like API management, service mesh, and ingress control.
The OpenID Connect (OIDC) plugin for Apache APISIX enables centralized authentication for APIs by integrating with OpenID Connect providers (like Okta, Auth0, Keycloak). It allows users to authenticate through a designated provider and then access APIs through APISIX. The plugin handles the redirection to the provider’s login page, token exchange, and passing user information to the upstream services.
Vulnerability details: A vulnerability of plugin openid-connect in Apache APISIX. This vulnerability will only have an impact if all of the following conditions are met:
1. Use the openid-connect plugin with introspection mode
2. The auth service connected to openid-connect provides services to multiple issuers
3. Multiple issuers share the same private key and relies only on the issuer being different If affected by this vulnerability, it would allow an attacker with a valid account on one of the issuers to log into the other issuer.
Remedy: This issue affects Apache APISIX: until 3.12.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.12.0 or higher.
