CVE-2026-54763
Traefik is an HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer. Prior to v2.11.51, v3.6.22, and v3.7.6, Traefik's BasicAuth, DigestAuth, and ForwardAuth middlewares strip canonical-cased spoofed identity headers before writing Traefik's own value, but do not account for underscore-variant header names, which many backends normalize identically to dashed forms. An attacker able to reach a protected route can inject an underscore-variant header that survives Traefik's stripping and reaches the backend alongside, or on the unauthenticated ForwardAuth authResponseHeaders path instead of, the value Traefik intended to set, spoofing identity or authorization context. This issue is fixed in versions v2.11.51, v3.6.22, and v3.7.6.

Traefik presenta una vulnerabilidad crítica que permite a un atacante suplantar identidades y evadir middlewares de autenticación mediante la inyección de encabezados HTTP con guiones bajos. Debido a una normalización incorrecta en los backends, un atacante puede saltarse protecciones de BasicAuth o ForwardAuth y acceder a servicios privados. Se recomienda actualizar urgentemente a las versiones v2.11.51, v3.6.22 o v3.7.6 para corregir este fallo de severidad máxima.
