CVE-2026-71326

Traefik: BasicAuth singleflight key collision allows authenticated identity spoofing

Published Aug 6, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 2.1 Low EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Traefik is an open source HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer. From 3.6.11 until 3.6.25 and 3.7.10, Traefik's BasicAuth middleware in pkg/middlewares/auth/basic_auth.go deduplicates concurrent password checks with a singleflight key built from the delimiter-free concatenation of password and secret, allowing an attacker who has a valid credential and the stored hash to authenticate as an unconfigured username when headerField trusts the forwarded identity. This issue is fixed in 3.6.25 and 3.7.10.
