CVE-2021-43557: Apache APISIX: Path traversal in request_uri variable
From: Zexuan Luo <spacewander () apache org>

Severity: moderate Description: The uri-block plugin in APISIX uses $request_uri without verification. The $request_uri is the full original request URI without normalization. This makes it possible to construct a URI to bypass the block list on some occasions. For instance, when the block list contains "^/internal/", a URI like `//internal/` can be used to bypass it. Some other plugins also have the same issue. And it may affect the developer's custom plugin. This issue is fixed in APISIX 2.10.2. Thanks to Marcin Niemiec for reporting the vulnerability. Mitigation: 1. Upgrade to APISIX 2.10.2 2. Carefully review custom code, find & fix the usage of $request_uri without verification.
