I'm adding support to the Kubernetes Service reader to read labels not only from 'Ingress' class but also GRPCRoute and HTTPRoute from the new Gateway API.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added support for discovering and enforcing access controls on Kubernetes HTTPRoute and GRPCRoute resources alongside Ingress resources.
    • Improved host and domain matching, including wildcard hostnames and domain-specific application lookups.
    • Added route-aware handling for paths, hosts, annotations, namespaces, and resource names.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved protection against authorization bypasses caused by routes without catch-all path coverage.
  • Tests
    • Expanded coverage for Kubernetes resource types, routing paths, host matching, and domain-specific lookups.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Kubernetes provider now watches Ingress, HTTPRoute, and GRPCRoute resources. Typed extractors produce route data for a type-qualified cache. Provider lookups now receive the requested domain.

Changes

Kubernetes routing support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Domain-aware provider contracts
go.mod, internal/service/access_controls_service.go, internal/service/access_controls_service_test.go, internal/service/docker_service.go
Provider lookup methods now accept a domain. Shared domain helpers are package-level functions. Kubernetes and Gateway API dependencies are added.
Typed route extraction
internal/service/kubernetes_ingress_extractor.go, internal/service/kubernetes_httproute_extractor.go, internal/service/kubernetes_grpcroute_extractor.go
New extractors return hosts, annotations, resource type, and route metadata. HTTP route extraction normalizes path matches and warns when no catch-all path exists.
Multi-resource Kubernetes provider
internal/service/kubernetes_service.go
The service watches reachable Ingress, HTTPRoute, and GRPCRoute APIs. It converts resources, updates a type-qualified cache, matches exact and wildcard hosts, and performs domain-aware lookups.
Cross-resource behavior validation
internal/service/kubernetes_service_test.go
Tests cover typed conversion, route extraction, host matching, cache separation, stale-entry removal, supported resource types, and lookup behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 34456

Kubernetes-derived access rules can be applied to hostnames a resource does not actually route, and rules from a deleted route or ingress can linger in the cache if a deletion event is missed. Both affect which users are permitted on a given domain, so they are worth resolving before merge; neither breaks normal startup or request handling.

@contre95 is there any chance we could rebase this to main? I did make some significant changes in the way the Kubernetes service works.

@contre95 is there any chance we could rebase this to main? I did make some significant changes in the way the Kubernetes service works.

Yes, I saw the changes, the docs on k8s are great. Unfortunately I was not able to work on this one for a while, been very busy at work. I'll try to rebase and work on it this weekend if possible.

Reapply the Gateway API support on top of the KubernetesService rework
from main, which moved the service to ding-managed watchers and a
Lookup based LabelProvider, and started requiring an app to match a host
the resource actually routes.

Ingresses declare their hosts in spec.rules[].host while HTTPRoutes and
GRPCRoutes use spec.hostnames, so host extraction is now dispatched per
resource kind. Route hostnames may carry the Gateway API wildcard label,
which is matched as a suffix, and routes without hostnames are skipped
since the hosts of the gateway listeners they attach to cannot be
resolved from the route alone.

The cache key gains the resource kind because an Ingress and an
HTTPRoute may share a name within a namespace, and the catch-all path
warning is extended to HTTPRoute path matches.

The app name fallback matches any domain that starts with the app name,
so an app named myapp served on myapp.example.com also defined the ACLs
of myapp.evil.com. Behind a proxy with a catch-all route, a request can
be authorized against the wrong app that way.

Label providers now receive the domain being authorized. The Kubernetes
provider keeps the hosts of every Ingress, HTTPRoute and GRPCRoute it
watches and withholds the apps of the resources that do not route the
domain, which bounds the name fallback to the hosts a resource actually
serves. Wildcard hostnames keep matching as a suffix, so nested
subdomains stay resolvable by app name.

Container labels carry no routing information, so the Docker provider
cannot narrow its results down and keeps yielding every app.

Authorization Bypass

Reachability: External
Exploitability: Moderate
CWE: CWE-863 — Incorrect Authorization

Use resource-specific wildcard matching.

This suffix check is correct for Gateway API routes. It is too broad for Kubernetes Ingress.

Kubernetes Ingress *.example.com matches one label only. This code also matches deep.app.example.com. An annotated Ingress can therefore supply ACLs for a domain that it does not route. Gateway API wildcard hostnames use different multi-label semantics. (kubernetes.io)

Pass ResourceType into the matcher, or use separate Ingress and Gateway API matchers.

Remove resources that disappear during resync.

resyncGVR updates resources returned by List, but it does not remove cached keys absent from the result.

If the watcher misses a deletion while it restarts, every later resync leaves the deleted resource in k.apps. Lookup can then return ACLs from a resource that no longer exists.

Track the keys seen for res.typ. After a successful list, remove cached keys of that type that were not seen.
