Summary
Traefik from v3.7.13 before v3.7.14 has an access-control bypass in its Kubernetes Ingress NGINX provider. The HTTP router generated for ssl-passthrough Ingresses on non-TLS entry points never applies the Ingress access-control annotations, a missing authentication issue (CWE-306). An unauthenticated attacker who reaches the HTTP entry point with the Ingress host can access backends protected by auth-type, auth-url, or whitelist-source-range annotations, and nothing is logged.
