Report: CVE-2026-39858 - Traefik: Forwarded alias spoofing top pre-auth decision bypass - Complete Guide
CVE ID :CVE-2026-39858 Published : April 30, 2026, 8:26 p.m. | 54 minutes ago Description :Traefik is an HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer. Prior to versions 2.11.43, 3.6.14, and 3.7.0-rc.2, there is a high severity authentication bypass vulnerability in Traefik's ForwardAuth and snippet-based authentication middleware. Traefik's forwarded-header sanitization logic targets only canonical header names (e.g., X-Forwarded-Proto) and does not strip or normalize alias variants that use underscores instead of dashes (e.g., X_Forwarded_Proto). These unsanitized alias headers are forwarded intact to the authentication backend. When the backend normalizes underscore and dash header forms equivalently, an attacker can inject spoofed trust context — such as a trusted scheme or host — through the alias headers and bypass authentication on protected routes without valid credentials. This issue has been patched in versions 2.11.43, 3.6.14, and 3.7.0-rc.2. Severity: 0.0 | NA Visit the link for more details, such as CVSS details, affected products, timeline, and more...
