HIGHCVSS 8.7/10

Last modified

CVE-2026-119572 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.7/10 on the CVSS scale. Traefik from 3.7.0-ea.1 before 3.7.15 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the Kubernetes Ingress NGINX provider that silently disables mTLS configured via the auth-tls-secret annotation. When another Ingress declares a path on the same host without matching auth-tls settings, Traefik falls back to default TLS options, letting unauthenticated attackers reach backends requiring client certificates..
