CVE-2026-121966 PUBLISHED

Traefik before 2.11.60 and 3.7.16 ForwardAuth NTLM/Negotiate Identity Leak

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 04.11.2026 Published: 04.11.2026 Updated: 04.11.2026

Traefik 2.x before 2.11.60 and 3.x before 3.7.16 sends ForwardAuth subrequests (and, in 3.7, Ingress NGINX auth-url requests) through an auth-server connection pool shared by all clients, exposing connection-bound NTLM or Negotiate authentication. An unauthenticated attacker can reuse another user's authenticated connection, receiving the victim's identity via authResponseHeaders to access backends as that user.
