7.4 HIGH

Unauthenticated network attacker (PR:N), but AC:H reflects the required HTTP/3 + connection-bound NTLM/keep-alive setup and the race to inherit a victim's live authenticated connection; high C/I from impersonation, no availability impact.

DescriptionCVE.org

Traefik is an open source HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer. From 2.11.0 until 2.11.57 and 3.7.13, the HTTP/3 entrypoint ConnContext does not call service.AddTransportOnContext, so kerberosRoundTripper uses a shared backend transport instead of a transport dedicated to each frontend connection. With HTTP/3 enabled, a backend using connection-bound NTLM or Negotiate authentication, and backend keep-alive, an unrelated client can reuse a backend connection authenticated for a victim, read victim-only data, and act as that victim without the victim credentials. This issue is fixed in 2.11.57 and 3.7.13.

AnalysisAI

Backend connection hijacking in Traefik reverse proxy (2.11.0 through 2.11.56 and 3.0.0 through 3.7.12) lets an unauthenticated remote client impersonate another user over HTTP/3. Because the HTTP/3 entrypoint never calls service.AddTransportOnContext, the kerberosRoundTripper falls back to a shared backend transport instead of one bound to each frontend connection, so when a backend uses connection-bound NTLM or Negotiate authentication with keep-alive, an unrelated client can reuse a backend connection already authenticated for a victim, read the victim's data, and act as the victim without ever obtaining their credentials. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires all of the following to be true simultaneously: the target Traefik entrypoint must have HTTP/3 enabled; the backend service must use connection-bound authentication (NTLM or Negotiate/Kerberos, which the KerberosRoundTripper handles); and backend keep-alive must be active so the authenticated connection persists for reuse. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The supplied CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N, base 9.1) captures the shape well: network-reachable, no privileges, no user interaction, but AT:P reflects that a specific attack requirement (racing to inherit a victim's authenticated keep-alive backend connection) must be met. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Vendor-released patch: upgrade to Traefik 2.11.57 (https://github.com/traefik/traefik/releases/tag/v2.11.57) or 3.7.13 (https://github.com/traefik/traefik/releases/tag/v3.7.13), which add the missing service.AddTransportOnContext call to the HTTP/3 entrypoint so each frontend connection again gets a dedicated backend transport. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all Traefik deployments and identify instances running versions 2.11.0-2.11.56 or 3.0.0-3.7.12; as interim mitigation, disable HTTP/3 protocol support on affected instances if possible. …
