Summary
There is a critical vulnerability in Traefik's default HTTP reverse proxy that leads to unauthenticated cross-user response poisoning. When a client opens an HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 CONNECT request, Traefik forwards it — body included — to an HTTP/1.1 upstream over a shared net/http.Transport. If the upstream answers the CONNECT with a keep-alive non-2xx response without draining the body, the now-desynchronized backend socket is returned to Traefik's shared connection pool and reused for other clients, letting an attacker make a different client read a response the attacker smuggled — which may be another user's authenticated or private content. The entrypoint's sanitizePath option (default true) is not a reliable defense: backends that answer CONNECT / with a keep-alive non-2xx remain exploitable. The experimental FastProxy implementation was not affected. The issue is fixed by deferring the forwarded CONNECT payload until the backend accepts the tunnel, by not returning CONNECT connections to the shared idle pool, and by discarding the CONNECT body in the ForwardAuth path.

CVE-2026-71324 (github.com/traefik/traefik/v2) — CWE-444 / CVSS v3 9.1
Attack vector: remote (network-reachable) / unauthenticated / no user interaction
Attack surface: GET /delay/2 / GET /get / CONNECT / sanitizePath
Patched: 2.11.53 — 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.
A vulnerability (CWE-444) exists in github.com/traefik/traefik/v2. Attackers reach the vulnerable code path via GET /delay/2 without authentication.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of github.com/traefik/traefik/v2. Attack surface: GET /delay/2 / GET /get / CONNECT / sanitizePath.
Severity: Critical (CVSS 9.1/10). Confidential information can be exposed externally.
Update to 2.11.53.
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 /delay/2 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.

-
1Identify exposure identify
grep -r 'github.com/traefik/traefik/v2' . | grep -v node_modulesリポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で
github.com/traefik/traefik/v2を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。 -
2Hunt for indicators of compromise detect
grep 'GET /delay/2' /var/log/nginx/access.log | grep -E '(unusual_payload|sqli_pattern)'アクセスログで
GET /delay/2への異常なリクエスト (不正な認証ヘッダ・SQLメタ文字)を過去 30〜90日分捜索。WAF/SIEM があれば該当パスのアラート発火履歴を確認。 -
3Apply patch patch
Upgrade github.com/traefik/traefik/v2 to 2.11.53ステージング環境で 2.11.53 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスと、Step 2 で見つけた異常検知の続報チェックを含めること。

4Post-deployment verification verify
Replay attack against GET /delay/2 on staging to confirm patch closes the vectorパッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番では Step 2 と同じログクエリでアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
