How to fix?

A fix was pushed into the master branch but not yet published.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity through the manipulation of HTTP headers in the HTTP/1.1 protocol. An attacker can alter or remove headers such as X-Forwarded-Host, potentially leading to security implications like access control bypass or data leakage by specifying these headers as hop-by-hop in the Connection header.

Note:

This is only exploitable if the backend application trusts the headers set by Traefik without revalidating them.
