An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2025-66490 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- github.com/traefik/traefik (Go): affected all versions; no fix listed\n- github.com/traefik/traefik (Go): affected all versions up to 1.7.34; no fix listed\n- github.com/traefik/traefik (Go): affected all versions up to 1.7.34; no fix listed\n- github.com/traefik/traefik/v2 (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 2.11.32\n- github.com/traefik/traefik/v2 (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 2.11.32\n- github.com/traefik/traefik/v2 (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 2.11.32\n- github.com/traefik/traefik/v3 (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 3.6.3\n- github.com/traefik/traefik/v3 (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 3.6.3\n- github.com/traefik/traefik/v3 (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 3.6.3\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-66490/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-66490/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-66490","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-66490/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-66490","record":{"aliases":["CLEANSTART-2026-PP49330","GHSA-gm3x-23wp-hc2c","GO-2025-4206","MINI-2328-c8qx-6xr6","MINI-6cw8-c23j-vvcj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"HTTP reverse proxy","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass security middleware and reach unintended backends by using URL-encoded characters in path-based routing rules.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"traefik","vendor":"traefik"}],"cvss":{"score":6.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:L/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-436","name":"Interpretation Conflict"}],"description":"Traefik is an HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer. For versions prior to 2.11.32 and 2.11.31 through 3.6.2, requests using PathPrefix, Path or PathRegex matchers can bypass path normalization. When Traefik uses path-based routing, requests containing URL-encoded restricted characters (/, \\, Null, ;, ?, #) can bypass the middleware chain and reach unintended backends. For example, a request to http://mydomain.example.com/admin%2F could reach service-a without triggering my-security-middleware, bypassing security controls for the /admin/ path. This issue is fixed in versions 2.11.32 and 3.6.3.","ecosystems":["Go"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Traefik doesn't Prevent Path Normalization Bypass in Router + Middleware Rules","id":"CVE-2025-66490","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Go","product":"traefik:traefik","products":["traefik:traefik"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2025"},"n_packages":9,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Traefik has Inverted TLS Verification Logic in its ingress-nginx Provider","id":"CVE-2025-66491"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/traefik/traefik","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/traefik/traefik","source":"GO-2025-4206"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["1.7.34"],"package":"github.com/traefik/traefik","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-gm3x-23wp-hc2c"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["1.7.34"],"package":"github.com/traefik/traefik","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/traefik/traefik","source":"GHSA-gm3x-23wp-hc2c"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["2.11.32"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/traefik/traefik/v2","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-gm3x-23wp-hc2c"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["2.11.32"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/traefik/traefik/v2","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/traefik/traefik/v2","source":"GHSA-gm3x-23wp-hc2c"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["2.11.32"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/traefik/traefik/v2","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/traefik/traefik/v2","source":"GO-2025-4206"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["3.6.3"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/traefik/traefik/v3","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-gm3x-23wp-hc2c"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["3.6.3"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/traefik/traefik/v3","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/traefik/traefik/v3","source":"GHSA-gm3x-23wp-hc2c"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["3.6.3"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/traefik/traefik/v3","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/traefik/traefik/v3","source":"GO-2025-4206"}],"prev":{"headline":"Cal.com Authentication Bypass via bad TOTP + password checks","id":"CVE-2025-66489"},"products":["traefik"],"published":"2025-12-09","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"HTTP client can remove the X-Forwarded headers in Traefik","id":"CVE-2024-45410","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-09-19"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Traefik v3.7.0 Authentication Bypass via from-to-www-redirect","id":"CVE-2026-88877","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-10"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Traefik before v2.11.55 and v3.0.0 through v3.7.10 Authentication Bypass via digestAuth","id":"CVE-2026-85595","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-04"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Traefik HTTP/3 Backend NTLM Connection Reuse","id":"CVE-2026-88007","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Traefik: Rootless HTTP/1 request-target routes as \"/\" but is forwarded verbatim, bypassing path-scoped routing, middleware guards and access logging","id":"CVE-2026-88009","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Traefik has a possible vulnerability with the path matchers","id":"CVE-2025-32431","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-04-21"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"Traefik v3.7 Authentication Bypass via TLS Option Conflict","id":"CVE-2026-85596","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-04"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"Go Vulnerability Database","prefix":"GO"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-12-09","vendors":["traefik"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass security middleware and reach unintended backends by using URL-encoded characters in path-based routing rules.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-66490/"}
