Last modified

CVE-2026-114640 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.7/10 on the CVSS scale. Traefik from v3.7.0 before v3.7.14 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in its Kubernetes Ingress-NGINX provider that forwards client-supplied Ssl-Client-* headers on the plaintext HTTP router. When ssl-redirect is disabled alongside auth-tls-pass-certificate-to-upstream, unauthenticated attackers can send Ssl-Client-Verify: SUCCESS with a chosen certificate subject and issuer to impersonate mTLS identities.. EPSS estimates a 0.20% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
