  "details" : [ "Traefik is an HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer. Prior to versions 2.11.42, 3.6.11, and 3.7.0-ea.3, when `headerField` is configured with a non-canonical HTTP header name (e.g., `x-auth-user` instead of `X-Auth-User`), an authenticated attacker can inject their own canonical version of that header to impersonate any identity to the backend. The backend receives two header entries — the attacker-injected canonical one is read first, overriding Traefik's non-canonical write. Versions 2.11.42, 3.6.11, and 3.7.0-ea.3 patch the issue.", "A flaw was found in Traefik, an HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer. When the `headerField` is configured with a non-canonical HTTP header name, an authenticated attacker can inject a canonical version of that header. This allows the attacker to impersonate any identity to the backend, leading to an authentication bypass. The backend prioritizes the attacker-injected header, overriding Traefik's intended header." ],
