CWE-863  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade github.com/traefik/traefik/v3/pkg/provider/kubernetes/crd to version 3.6.23, 3.7.7 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization via pkg/provider/kubernetes/crd/kubernetes_tcp.go through makeTCPServersTransportKey when processing IngressRouteTCP service serversTransport references. An attacker can make Traefik accept a forbidden cross-provider transport such as foo@file by submitting an IngressRouteTCP resource from a namespace that is not listed in crossProviderNamespaces. This lets the attacker cause Traefik to use an operator-defined TCPServersTransport with its backend TLS client certificates, SPIFFE identity, or PROXY-protocol settings, which can relay privileged backend identity and alter how the proxy connects to upstream services.
