Technical details
A vulnerability exists in Traefik's HTTP/3 (QUIC) TLS configuration selection logic. When HTTP/3 is enabled, the TLS handshake performs an exact, case-sensitive map lookup on the SNI value to select the appropriate TLS configuration. This lookup fails for wildcard host patterns (e.g., *.example.com) or mixed-case variants of a hostname. In these cases, Traefik falls back to the default TLS configuration. If the default configuration does not require client certificates, an unauthenticated attacker can complete the handshake and reach backends that were intended to be protected by router-specific mTLS policies. This issue is resolved in version 3.7.3.
