Doc Text:
A flaw was found in Traefik. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass client-certificate authentication. By creating conflicting Transport Layer Security (TLS) options on multi-host routers, attackers can exploit shared TLS resolution across multiple hostnames in a single router rule. This causes the strict mutual TLS (mTLS) requirement to fall back to default options, enabling access to protected backends.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-04 18:22:11 UTC
Traefik before v2.11.55 contains a TLS option conflict resolution vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass client-certificate authentication by creating conflicting TLS options on multi-host routers. Attackers can reach protected backends by exploiting shared TLS resolution across multiple hostnames in a single router rule, causing the strict mTLS requirement to fall back to default options for all hosts.
