Path Traversal in github.com/traefik/traefik/v2 (CVE-2026-65600)
Summary
Path traversal in github.com/traefik/traefik/v2 (CVE-2026-65600). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via GET /api../admin. Mitigation: upgrade to 2.11.52 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Summary
There is a critical authentication-bypass vulnerability in Traefik's ReplacePathRegex middleware. When it is configured with a regular expression that captures user-controlled path segments without a mandatory separator (for example regex: "^/api(.*)", replacement: "/$1"), a crafted request can produce an un-normalized replacement path such as /../admin, which Traefik forwarded to the backend without validation. A backend that normalizes the path may resolve it to a protected route, letting an unauthenticated attacker reach resources located behind authentication middleware. This is the same class of issue that was fixed for StripPrefix in CVE-2026-48020; that post-replacement normalization check had not been applied to ReplacePathRegex. The fix rejects any request whose replaced path does not match its normalized form.

CVE-2026-65600 (github.com/traefik/traefik/v2) — CWE-22 / CVSS v3 5.3
Attack vector: remote (network-reachable) / unauthenticated / no user interaction
Attack surface: GET /api../admin / ReplacePathRegex / StripPrefix / ServeHTTP
Patched: 2.11.52 — apply immediately
Plan: 1) Audit SBOM/dependencies, 2) Stage→prod upgrade, 3) Add WAF/proxy monitoring on affected endpoints, 4) Hunt IOCs in logs.
Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
Path traversal (CWE-22) exists in github.com/traefik/traefik/v2. Attackers reach the vulnerable code path via GET /api../admin without authentication.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of github.com/traefik/traefik/v2. Attack surface: GET /api../admin / ReplacePathRegex / StripPrefix / ServeHTTP.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 5.3/10). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Update to 2.11.52.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual GET /api../admin requests with malformed payloads or SQL meta-characters. Run grep -r 'github.com/traefik/traefik/v2' . against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.
