SCA: security update for github.com/traefik/traefik/v2, github.com/traefik/traefik/v3 (GHSA-3ccp-42pg-hgv6)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 445736

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- Traefik is an open source HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer. Prior to 2.11.53, 3.6.24, and 3.7.9,
Traefik's default HTTP reverse proxy forwards a plain HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 CONNECT request and its body to an
HTTP/1.1 upstream through a shared net/http.Transport. When the upstream answers the CONNECT with a keep-
alive non-2xx response and does not drain the body, Traefik returns the desynchronized backend socket to
its shared pool and reuses it for other clients. An unauthenticated attacker can use this behavior to make
a different client read the attacker's smuggled response, which can include authenticated or private
content from another request. The ForwardAuth middleware with forwardBody true and preserveRequestMethod
true can re-issue a CONNECT with the buffered body attached, exposing the auth-client pool to the same
desynchronization. This issue is fixed in 2.11.53, 3.6.24, and 3.7.9. (CVE-2026-71324)

Solution

Update the github.com/traefik/traefik/v2 library and its related packages to version 2.11.53 or later.
