CVE-2026-29054
Traefik is an HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer. From version 2.11.9 to 2.11.37 and from version 3.1.3 to 3.6.8, there is a potential vulnerability in Traefik managing the Connection header with X-Forwarded headers. When Traefik processes HTTP/1.1 requests, the protection put in place to prevent the removal of Traefik-managed X-Forwarded headers (such as X-Real-Ip, X-Forwarded-Host, X-Forwarded-Port, etc.) via the Connection header does not handle case sensitivity correctly.
Leer descripción completaMostrar menos
The Connection tokens are compared case-sensitively against the protected header names, but the actual header deletion operates case-insensitively. As a result, a remote unauthenticated client can use lowercase Connection tokens (e.g. Connection: x-real-ip) to bypass the protection and trigger the removal of Traefik-managed forwarded identity headers. This issue has been patched in versions 2.11.38 and 3.6.9.

Cuando Traefik procesa solicitudes HTTP/1.1, la protección implementada para evitar la eliminación de los encabezados X-Forwarded gestionados por Traefik (como X-Real-Ip, X-Forwarded-Host, X-Forwarded-Port, etc.) a través del encabezado Connection no maneja correctamente la distinción entre mayúsculas y minúsculas. Los tokens de Connection se comparan con distinción entre mayúsculas y minúsculas con los nombres de los encabezados protegidos, pero la eliminación real del encabezado opera sin distinción entre mayúsculas y minúsculas. Como resultado, un cliente remoto no autenticado puede usar tokens de Connection en minúsculas (p. ej., Connection: x-real-ip) para eludir la protección y activar la eliminación de los encabezados de identidad reenviados gestionados por Traefik. Este problema ha sido parcheado en las versiones 2.11.38 y 3.6.9."
