Version 4.3.0

Release description

Airlock Microgateway helps you to protect your services and APIs from unauthorized or malicious access with little effort. It is a lightweight and Kubernetes-native Web Application and API Protection (WAAP) solution designed to overcome the DevSecOps obstacles and to implement ZeroTrust.

Main new features:

• GraphQL schema validation
• Own- and Multi-Namespace support
• Grafana Dashboards
• OIDC RP improvements
• Extend limit checks to support OpenAPI and GraphQL requests and additional content type: multipart/form-data

Action required:

• If the experimental OIDC Relying Party feature is used it is now required to deploy a Redis and configure a SessionHandling CR which is referenced in the SidecarGateway CR.
• The upgrade to 4.3 must be done without using the new Own- and Multi-Namespace feature.

Breaking changes:
The following changes are breaking:

• The behavior of value "auto" for upstream protocol in the SidecarGateway CRD has changed. In the case where no TLS is configured for the upstream connection, the HTTP protocol used by the downstream connection is also used for the upstream connection. Previously "auto" for upstream connections caused that always HTTP/1.1 was used.
• Various behavior and defaults of the Limit CRD have changed
  • Split up general.bodySize limit into specific limits limited.json.bodySize and limited.parameter.bodySize (default values: 100Ki)
  • general.bodySize limit is fron now on only applied to unparsed requests with unknown content-types such as application/octet stream (old behavior: applied only to parsed requests e.g. JSON data). Hence this is not a global default.
  • Default value of general.bodySize was increased to 100Mi (old default: 100Ki)
  • WebSocket and gRPC requests currently do not have specific limit settings and always use an unlimited, non-configurable body size to avoid problems
• Microgateway configured as OIDC Relying Party requires now a Redis being deployed and session handling configured. The OIDC configuration itself is unchanged.
• The Engine metrics have changed to simplify future extensions:
  • Regarding requests
    • Added a new metric microgateway_http_downstream_rq_threats_blocked_total to measure the total number of requests blocked by an Engine filter. This metric now contains the block_type label with the value of the block category that triggered the block action.
    • Added a new metric microgateway_http_downstream_rq_threats_logged_total to measure the total number of requests logged by an Engine filter. This metric now contains the block_type label with the value of the block category that would trigger a block action.
    • Removed the metrics microgateway_http_downstream_rq_blocked_total, microgateway_http_downstream_rq_deny_rule_total and microgateway_http_downstream_rq_limit_total. Please migrate to the above-mentioned metrics instead.
  • Regarding respones
    • Added a new metric microgateway_http_downstream_rs_threats_blocked_total to measure the total number of responses blocked by an Engine filter. This metric now contains the block_type label with the value of the block category that triggered the block action.
    • Added a new metric microgateway_http_downstream_rs_threats_logged_total to measure the total number of responses logged by an Engine filter. This metric now contains the block_type label with the value of the block category that would trigger a block action.
    • Removed the metric microgateway_http_downstream_rs_blocked_total. Please migrate to the above-mentioned metric instead.

Licensing:
In the Community edition, if the real throughput exceeds the licensed throughput, requests are blocked. In the Premium edition, no requests are blocked.
