CVE	Date	Vulnerability	Products
CVE-2026-71327	Aug 06, 2026	Traefik Route Identity Collision via Hyphen Concatenation (3.0.0-3.6.25, 3.7.0-3.7.10) Traefik is an open source HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer. From 3.0.0 until 3.6.25 and 3.7.10, Traefik's Kubernetes Gateway API provider in pkg/provider/kubernetes/gateway/httproute.go, grpcroute.go, tcproute.go, and tlsroute.go builds HTTPRoute, GRPCRoute, TCPRoute, and TLSRoute router and service identities by hyphen-concatenating namespace, route name, Gateway identity, entry point, and rule index, allowing colliding Routes to overwrite another namespace's backend. This issue is fixed in 3.6.25 and 3.7.10.	Traefik
CVE-2026-71326	Aug 06, 2026	Traefik BasicAuth Bypass via headerField 3.6.11-3.6.25, 3.7.10 Traefik is an open source HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer. From 3.6.11 until 3.6.25 and 3.7.10, Traefik's BasicAuth middleware in pkg/middlewares/auth/basic_auth.go deduplicates concurrent password checks with a singleflight key built from the delimiter-free concatenation of password and secret, allowing an attacker who has a valid credential and the stored hash to authenticate as an unconfigured username when headerField trusts the forwarded identity. This issue is fixed in 3.6.25 and 3.7.10.	Traefik
CVE-2026-71325	Aug 06, 2026	Traefik cross-namespace CRD bypass pre-2.11.54 / 3.6.25 / 3.7.10 Traefik is an open-source edge router that makes publishing services a fun and easy experience. Prior to 2.11.54, 3.6.25, and 3.7.10, cross-namespace @kubernetescrd references are not rejected for TraefikService backend references resolved by the service resolver. A tenant confined by RBAC to a single namespace can therefore bind its own router to a TraefikService owned by another namespace and expose or reroute that namespace's backend, defeating the namespace isolation allowCrossNamespace=false is meant to enforce. This issue is fixed in version 2.11.54, 3.6.25, 3.7.10.	Traefik
CVE-2026-71324	Aug 06, 2026	Traefik <2.11.53/3.6.24/3.7.9: HTTP/2 CONNECT Desync Leads to Smuggling Traefik is an open source HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer. Prior to 2.11.53, 3.6.24, and 3.7.9, Traefik's default HTTP reverse proxy forwards a plain HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 CONNECT request and its body to an HTTP/1.1 upstream through a shared net/http.Transport. When the upstream answers the CONNECT with a keep-alive non-2xx response and does not drain the body, Traefik returns the desynchronized backend socket to its shared pool and reuses it for other clients. An unauthenticated attacker can use this behavior to make a different client read the attacker's smuggled response, which can include authenticated or private content from another request. The ForwardAuth middleware with forwardBody true and preserveRequestMethod true can re-issue a CONNECT with the buffered body attached, exposing the auth-client pool to the same desynchronization. This issue is fixed in 2.11.53, 3.6.24, and 3.7.9.	Traefik
CVE-2026-67309	Aug 01, 2026	Traefik 3.x3.7.7: K8s Nginx RewriteTarget Path Trvsl Auth Bypass Traefik versions >= v3.7.0 and <= v3.7.7 contain a path traversal vulnerability in the Kubernetes Ingress NGINX provider's RewriteTarget middleware (generated from the nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target annotation). When an Ingress path uses a regex that captures attacker-controlled text without requiring a path separator (e.g., path /api(.*) with rewrite target /$1), a crafted request such as /api../admin matches the public router, is rewritten to a dot-segment traversal path (/../admin), and is forwarded without post-replacement normalization validation. A backend that normalizes dot segments resolves the path to a protected endpoint (e.g., /admin) reachable only through a separate router secured with BasicAuth, DigestAuth, or ForwardAuth, resulting in route-level authentication bypass. The issue is fixed in v3.7.8.	Traefik
CVE-2026-65602	Jul 22, 2026	Traefik <3.6.23 Cross-Provider Namespace Allowlist Bypass via IngressRouteTCP Traefik 3.6.0 through 3.6.22 and 3.7.0 through 3.7.6 fail to enforce the crossProviderNamespaces allowlist for IngressRouteTCP service serversTransport references (the allowlist was only enforced for HTTP serversTransport references). A low-privileged Kubernetes user in a namespace not listed in crossProviderNamespaces can set serversTransport: foo@file on an IngressRouteTCP service, causing Traefik to accept the forbidden cross-provider reference and use a file-provider TCPServersTransport including privileged backend mTLS client certificates, SPIFFE identity, or PROXY-protocol settings. This is fixed in 3.6.23 and 3.7.7.	Traefik
CVE-2026-65600	Jul 22, 2026	Auth Bypass via Path Traversal in Traefik ReplacePathRegex v2.11.51, 3.6.0-3.6.22, 3.7.0-3.7.6 Traefik versions <= v2.11.51, >= v3.6.0 <= v3.6.22, and >= v3.7.0 <= v3.7.6 contain an authentication bypass via path traversal in the ReplacePathRegex middleware. When ReplacePathRegex is configured with a regex that captures user-controlled path segments without a mandatory path separator (e.g. regex "^/api(.*)", replacement "/$1"), the middleware forwards the replaced path to the backend without validating that it matches its normalized form. An unauthenticated remote attacker can send a crafted request (e.g. GET /api../admin) that produces an un-normalized path such as /../admin, which a backend that normalizes paths resolves to a protected route, bypassing authentication middleware. Fixed in v2.11.52, v3.6.23, and v3.7.7.	Traefik
CVE-2026-65601	Jul 22, 2026	Traefik 3.7.x Namespace Confusion before 3.7.7 Traefik versions 3.7.0 through 3.7.6 contain a namespace confusion vulnerability in the Kubernetes Gateway API provider. When resolving HTTPRoute.spec.rules[].backendRefs[].filters[].extensionRef, Traefik used the backend Service namespace instead of the HTTPRoute namespace. A low-privileged route author holding a ReferenceGrant for a cross-namespace Service could therefore bind a Traefik Middleware from the backend namespace without a separate grant for that middleware, potentially injecting trusted reverse-proxy identity headers into downstream requests. The issue is fixed in version 3.7.7.	Traefik
CVE-2026-54763	Jul 06, 2026	Traefik v<2.11.51/v3.6.22/v3.7.6 Auth Middleware Header Spoof Vulnerability 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
CVE-2026-54765	Jul 06, 2026	Traefik v<3.7.6: HTTPRoute Filter Leakage via Gateway API Traefik is an open source HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer. From v3.7.0 prior to v3.7.6, Traefik's Kubernetes Gateway API provider may resolve two accepted HTTPRoutes that target the same backend Service:port but configure different backendRef filters to the same child service and apply only one route's filter set to all requests reaching that backend. In Gateway deployments where backendRef filters set security-sensitive headers, such as tenant identity, authorization context, or values the backend trusts, an attacker who can create an accepted HTTPRoute sharing the same backend Service:port may cause their route's filter context to be applied to another route's requests, potentially crossing namespace boundaries when a ReferenceGrant permits cross-namespace targeting. This issue is fixed in version v3.7.6.	Traefik
