Apollo ConfigService may allow unauthorized access to configuration data when AccessKey / management key authentication is enabled and ConfigService accepts a non-canonical appId variant during authentication while downstream request handling resolves it to the protected app.
ConfigService extracts appId from configuration and notification requests and uses the extracted value to look up available AccessKey secrets. If the extracted appId is a non-canonical variant that does not exactly match the AccessKey cache key, ConfigService may treat the request as having no available secrets and allow it to continue without signature verification.
This can happen when downstream release lookup still matches the real appId under database collations that treat the values as equivalent. Examples include accent variants under accent-insensitive collations, or trailing-space variants under PAD SPACE collations.
An unauthenticated remote attacker may read configuration data from affected ConfigService endpoints when AccessKey / management key authentication is enabled for the target app and the deployment database collation treats a non-canonical appId variant as equivalent to the real appId.
The primary impact is on ConfigService configuration read endpoints under /configs and /configfiles. Notification endpoints using appId parameters are also hardened as defense-in-depth.
Fixed in Apollo 2.5.2. Users should upgrade to Apollo 2.5.2 or later.
The raw config file endpoint parsing issue originally described in this advisory has been split into GHSA-h4pc-58cc-hc95 so each independently fixable vulnerability can receive its own CVE.
