Right now we don't have way to secure ingress and apps it is serving, unless apps are providing an authentication mechanism of their own. So for apps that don't support any form of authentication are wide open.

After implementing this feature ingress controller can act as a guard for such applications.

Contour 1.9 supports Envoy external authorization servers (see https://projectcontour.io/guides/external-authorization/); for an out-of-box OIDC integration https://github.com/istio-ecosystem/authservice could be a match.
