How to Fix CVE-2026-34992

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Antrea.io/antrea dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

antrea.io/antrea fixed: Latest secure release
Upgrade antrea.io/antrea to Latest secure release
antrea.io/antrea fixed: Latest secure release
Upgrade antrea.io/antrea to Latest secure release
antrea.io/antrea fixed: 1.11.0-alpha.0.0.20260225185322-738bad662b20
Upgrade antrea.io/antrea to 1.11.0-alpha.0.0.20260225185322-738bad662b20
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:

inspect dependencies for antrea.io/antrea

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2026-34992, inspect your project dependencies for Antrea.io/antrea:

inspect dependencies for antrea.io/antrea

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Antrea.io/antrea in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.11.0-alpha.0.0.20260225185322-738bad662b20), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-311: Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data, where the product does not encrypt sensitive or critical information before storage or transmission. In Antrea.io/antrea, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Impact This is a missing encryption vulnerability (CWE-311) affecting inter-Node Pod traffic. In Antrea clusters configured for dual-stack networking with IPsec encryption enabled (`trafficEncryptionMode: ipsec`), Antrea fails to apply encryption for IPv6 Pod traffic. While the IPv4 traffic is correctly encrypted via ESP (Encapsulating Security Payload), traffic using IPv6 is transmitted in plaintext. This occurs because the packets are encapsulated (using Geneve or VXLAN) but bypass the IPsec encryption layer. Impacted Users: users with dual-stack clusters and IPsec encryption enabled. Single-stack IPv4 or IPv6 clusters are not affected. ### Patches Yes, the issue has been patched: https://github.com/antrea-io/antrea/pull/7759 Users should upgrade to one of the following versions: * Antrea v2.6.0 or later * Antrea v2.5.2 * Antrea v2.4.5 Antrea recommends running the `antctl check installation --run ipsec` tool after upgrading to verify that both address families are correctly producing ESP traffic. ### Workarounds There is no configuration workaround to enable IPsec IPv6 in affected versions. If an immediate upgrade is not possible, user may consider using WireGuard instead for inter-Node Pod traffic encryption. The WireGuard support in Antrea does *not* suffer from the same issue. ### Resources Pull Request with Fix: [antrea-io/antrea#7759](https://github.com/antrea-io/antrea/pull/7759) Validation Tool PR: [antrea-io/antrea#7757](https://github.com/antrea-io/antrea/pull/7757) Antrea Documentation: [Traffic Encryption Guide](https://github.com/antrea-io/antrea/blob/main/docs/traffic-encryption.md)
