Authentication Bypass in github.com/traefik/traefik/v3 (CVE-2026-88007)
Summary
Authentication bypass in github.com/traefik/traefik/v3 (CVE-2026-88007). Confidential information can be exposed externally. Exploitable via ConnContext. Mitigation: upgrade to 3.7.13 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Summary
Traefik's HTTP/3 request path did not initialize the connection-scoped backend transport holder that isolates connection-bound NTLM and Negotiate (Kerberos) authentication on the HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 paths. The HTTP/3 entrypoint reuses the HTTPS handler chain and reaches the same backend round-tripper, but its ConnContext never called service.AddTransportOnContext, so kerberosRoundTripper fell back to the shared backend transport instead of a per-frontend-connection pool. On a route served over HTTP/3 to a backend that binds identity to a persistent connection via NTLM or Negotiate, an unrelated HTTP/3 client could be assigned a backend connection already authenticated as a victim and inherit that identity, reading victim-only data and performing actions as the victim without presenting the victim's credentials. Affected deployments require HTTP/3 enabled on the entrypoint, a backend using connection-bound NTLM/Negotiate authentication, and backend keep-alive; deployments using ordinary per-request authentication are not affected.

Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
Authentication bypass (CWE-287) exists in github.com/traefik/traefik/v3. Attackers reach the vulnerable code path via ConnContext without authentication.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of github.com/traefik/traefik/v3. Attack surface: ConnContext / service.AddTransportOnContext / kerberosRoundTripper / f2d0794417e4d06343e6e7c4722143f5b34bee45.
Severity: Critical (CVSS 9.1/10). Confidential information can be exposed externally.
Update to 3.7.13.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Run grep -r 'github.com/traefik/traefik/v3' . against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.
