NVD description

Traefik is a HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer. In versions >= v3.7.0 and <= v3.7.11, the Kubernetes ingress-nginx provider mishandles Ingresses that carry both an authentication annotation and the nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/from-to-www-redirect annotation. For such Ingresses the provider creates an additional 'sibling' router that matches on the host alone, carries only the RedirectRegex middleware, and still points at the parent router's protected backend service. Because RedirectRegex is not a terminal handler, a request its pattern does not match is forwarded to the backend, and because the redirect pattern only accepts a numeric port while Traefik's host matcher canonicalizes the authority via net.SplitHostPort, a request with a non-numeric or empty port (for example 'Host: www.example.com:x') selects the sibling router, misses the redirect, and is proxied to the protected backend with none of the Ingress's annotation-derived middlewares applied. This discards not only authentication (e.g. BasicAuth) but every annotation-derived middleware, including source-IP allowlisting. Traefik v2 and v3 releases before v3.7.0 are not affected. The issue is fixed in v3.7.12.

    🚨Critical - Traefik ingress-nginx Router Split Auth Bypass (CVE-2026-88877) Traefik’s Kubernetes ingress-nginx provider mishandles Ingresses combining an auth annotation with http://nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/from-to-www-redirect, creating a sibling router. A crafted Host header with an empty/non-numeric port bypasses RedirectRegex and skips auth + other annotation-derived middlewares (incl. source-IP allowlists), proxying directly to the protected backend. 👉Affected: traefik v3.7.0-3.7.11 | Upgrade to v3.7.12 to mitigate.

    Post summary

    Critical CVE-2026-88877 enables authentication bypass in Traefik via crafted Host headers; upgrading to v3.7.12 mitigates the issue.
