SCA: security update for github.com/traefik/traefik/v2, github.com/traefik/traefik/v3 (GHSA-x677-9fxg-v5c5)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 445737

Description

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

- Traefik is an HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer. Prior to v2.11.51, v3.6.22, and v3.7.6, Traefik's
BasicAuth, DigestAuth, and ForwardAuth middlewares strip canonical-cased spoofed identity headers before
writing Traefik's own value, but do not account for underscore-variant header names, which many backends
normalize identically to dashed forms. An attacker able to reach a protected route can inject an
underscore-variant header that survives Traefik's stripping and reaches the backend alongside, or on the
unauthenticated ForwardAuth authResponseHeaders path instead of, the value Traefik intended to set,
spoofing identity or authorization context. This issue is fixed in versions v2.11.51, v3.6.22, and v3.7.6.
(CVE-2026-54763)

Solution

Update the github.com/traefik/traefik/v2 library and its related packages to version 2.11.51 or later.
