How to fix?

Upgrade github.com/traefik/traefik/v3/pkg/config/static to version 3.1.3 or higher.

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.
