Til there's a security issue, right? Nginx is a big target.
- chuckadams 5mo agoThe API of Ingress is not Nginx's API. The spec itself is basically a yaml schema, it's hard to have a vulnerability in that.
- physicsguy 5mo agoThere have been critical vulns in nginx-ingress (the part which is deprecated) like this: https://kubernetes.io/blog/2025/03/24/ingress-nginx-cve-2025-1974/?utm_source=chatgpt.com https://kubernetes.io/blog/2025/03/24/ingress-nginx-cve-2025... If you're using it after it's dead, you're at risk of further problems of this nature that aren't in the underly nginx reverse proxy but in the code wrapping it.
- chuckadams 5mo agoThat's one reason I've always used Traefik as my Ingress (I work mostly with K3S, which uses it by default). Which appears to have had its own security issues too, but it still looks like an implementation issue, not a weakness designed in by the spec. On EKS I'm using whatever AWS has brewed up to integrate ELB/ALB, but I'll tend to trust it ... though maybe I shouldn't, given all the troubles I have with other integrations like secrets management.
