Doc Text:
A flaw was found in Traefik. This flaw allows a tenant, even when restricted by Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to a single namespace, to bypass namespace isolation. By binding their own router to a TraefikService in another namespace, an attacker can expose or reroute that namespace's backend services. This defeats the intended `allowCrossNamespace=false` enforcement, leading to unauthorized access or manipulation of services across namespaces.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-06 22:24:08 UTC 
Traefik is an open-source edge router that makes publishing services a fun and easy experience. Prior to 2.11.54, 3.6.25, and 3.7.10, cross-namespace @kubernetescrd references are not rejected for TraefikService backend references resolved by the service resolver. A tenant confined by RBAC to a single namespace can therefore bind its own router to a TraefikService owned by another namespace and expose or reroute that namespace's backend, defeating the namespace isolation allowCrossNamespace=false is meant to enforce. This issue is fixed in version 2.11.54, 3.6.25, 3.7.10.
