Summary

Traefik from 2.11.0 before 2.11.58 and from 3.0.0 before 3.7.14 contains an authentication bypass (CWE-287). A socket authenticated with an Authorization: Negotiate token is placed in a globally shared backend connection pool that is never isolated. An unauthenticated remote attacker on separate frontend connections can be assigned that socket and read or write data with the victim's identity.

Description from the CNA

Traefik 2.11.0 before 2.11.58 and 3.0.0 before 3.7.14 contains an authentication bypass because a first request preauthenticated with an Authorization: Negotiate token authenticates a socket in the globally shared backend connection pool, which is never isolated. Unauthenticated attackers on separate frontend connections can be assigned that NTLM/Kerberos-bound socket and perform reads or writes with the victim's identity.
