Conversation
The OpenShift Router previously did not validate backend destinations resolved from FQDN-typed EndpointSlices. This allowed the usage of invalid EndpointSlices to target hostnames that resolves to restricted IPs (like the cloud metadata service at 169.254.169.254). This commit disables the usage of EndpointSlices of type FQDN, and add validations on Endpoints to check if a restricted IP is being used before adding them to HAProxy endpoints Backend. The implementation and disabling the usage of FQDN-backed endpoints is based on the following: * RFE-2832 to implement support for ExternalName was considered and rejected due to security concerns, so OpenShift today does not support officially the usage of FQDN-based endpoints on router * OCPBUGS-55506 relates to a mistake caused by the customer that caused unavailability and not the need to support FQDN-based names * The behavior of an endpointslice of type FQDN is deprecated on Kubernetes * The behavior of an endpointslice using an address that is not IPv4 or IPv6 (eg.: hostname) is unespecified by Kubernetes and has no usage. * The hostname field on endpointslice is not used on router This way, there is a common understanding that the usage of FQDN based addresses on Router was a mistake, and disabling it is the right fix. Additional validations of the IP address on the generated endpointnt array is added to guarantee that no invalid nor restricted IP is used.

WalkthroughThe router now filters invalid or restricted endpoint addresses, skips unsupported EndpointSlice address types, and applies route validation according to configuration. Tests cover address handling, immutability, deletion events, conversion, and wiring. ChangesEndpoint validation and conversion
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR disables FQDN-backed endpoints and rejects invalid or restricted backend addresses, but validation failures may still expose raw endpoint data in router logs. This is a bounded logging/privacy risk that should receive explicit owner follow-up before or after merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Do not log the raw endpoint address.
Line 70 logs addr.IP. The error also contains the raw address for invalid and restricted inputs. An Endpoint address can contain an internal hostname or customer-controlled data. Log a fixed reason or a redacted classification instead.
As per coding guidelines, “Flag logging that may expose … internal hostnames, or customer data.”
