CVE-2026-114637: Traefik FastProxy NTLM/Negotiate authentication bypass in connection pool

CVE-2026-114637 · Severity: high · CVSS 8.7 · Published 2026-10-22

Traefik is a reverse proxy and load balancer used to route and manage traffic to backend services. An experimental FastProxy feature fails to properly isolate authenticated connections, allowing unauthenticated users to be served previously-authenticated backend connections. An attacker can impersonate a legitimate user and access their data or perform actions on their behalf without providing credentials.

Technologies: Traefik Labs Traefik. Vendors: Traefik Labs.

How to fix

  • Fixed in: v3.7.14

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in Traefik's experimental FastProxy connection pool implementation, which does not properly pin NTLM/Negotiate-authenticated backend connections to individual frontend connections. When experimental.fastProxy is enabled with plain HTTP backends using connection-bound NTLM or Negotiate authentication, an unauthenticated client on a new frontend connection can receive a pooled backend connection where a victim has already completed authentication, bypassing credential requirements.
