## What is CVE-2026-114642?

CVE-2026-114642 is a high-severity vulnerability in Traefik Traefik, published on 22 Oct 2026. 

### Official description

Traefik 2.11.0 before 2.11.58 and 3.0.0 before 3.7.14 stores its NTLM/Kerberos backend round tripper in a client-connection slot not keyed by ServersTransport, so one service's TLS client configuration is reused for another service's backend. An unauthenticated client can arm the slot via a backend issuing an NTLM or Negotiate challenge, then reach another service on the same keep-alive connection, bypassing its root CAs, server name, and certificate verification.

Weakness: CWE-295 (Improper Certificate Validation)
