Description
The Azure Key Vault KMS provider in Kroxylicious accepts an untrusted vaultName from wire-deserialized EDEK bytes without format validation, enabling SSRF that exfiltrates the proxy's Azure bearer token to an attacker-controlled host. Token replay against the real Key Vault defeats the entire record-encryption trust model.

Remediation

Vendor Workaround

1. Bind all topics to KEKs — remove PASSTHROUGH_UNENCRYPTED as unresolvedKeyPolicy. Explicitly configure kekSelector to match every topic. 2. Restrict outbound network access — use Kubernetes NetworkPolicy to limit proxy pod egress to only legitimate Azure Key Vault endpoints on port 443. 3. Monitor KMS call patterns — alert on unwrap requests targeting unexpected vault hostnames.
