Apollo has potential access control security issue in eureka

Impact

If users expose the apollo-configservice to the internet (which is not recommended), there are potential security issues since there is no authentication feature enabled for the built-in eureka service. Malicious hackers may access eureka directly to mock apollo-configservice and apollo-adminservice .

Patches

Login authentication for eureka was added in https://github.com/apolloconfig/apollo/pull/4663 and was released in v2.1.0.

Workarounds

To fix the potential issue without upgrading, simply follow the advice that does not expose apollo-configservice to the internet.
