CVE-2026-41181 Details
Description
Traefik is an HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer. Prior to 2.11.44, 3.6.15, and 3.7.0-rc.3, there is an information disclosure vulnerability in Traefik's errors (custom error pages) middleware. When the backend returns a response matching the configured status range, the middleware forwards the original request's complete header set, including Authorization, Cookie, and other authentication material, to the separate error page service rather than only the minimal context needed to render the error page. This behavior is undocumented: the documentation states only that Host is forwarded by default, so operators are not warned that sensitive credentials are shared across service boundaries. Deployments using the errors middleware with a distinct error page service may inadvertently expose end-user credentials to infrastructure that was not intended to receive them. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.11.44, 3.6.15, and 3.7.0-rc.3.
A medium severity information disclosure vulnerability exists in Traefik's errors middleware, prior to versions 2.11.44, 3.6.15, and 3.7.0-rc.3. The vulnerability arises because the middleware forwards the complete header set of the original request, including sensitive information such as Authorization and Cookie headers, to a separate error page service. This occurs when the backend response matches the configured status range. The documentation only mentions that the Host header is forwarded by default, leaving operators unaware that sensitive credentials are being shared across service boundaries. As a result, end-user credentials may be inadvertently exposed to unintended infrastructure.
Users can upgrade to Traefik versions 2.11.44, 3.6.15, or 3.7.0-rc.3 to address this vulnerability.
