CVE-2026-33433Traefik Vulnerable to BasicAuth/DigestAuth Identity Spoofing via Non-Canonical headerField

traefik traefik; Red Hat Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces 3.27 Published: (7 months ago)

Description

Traefik is an HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer. Prior to versions 2.11.42, 3.6.11, and 3.7.0-ea.3, when `headerField` is configured with a non-canonical HTTP header name (e.g., `x-auth-user` instead of `X-Auth-User`), an authenticated attacker can inject their own canonical version of that header to impersonate any identity to the backend. The backend receives two header entries — the attacker-injected canonical one is read first, overriding Traefik's non-canonical write. Versions 2.11.42, 3.6.11, and 3.7.0-ea.3 patch the issue.
