Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Traefik versions 3.6.11 up to but not including 3.7.13 are affected. The BasicAuth middleware's singleflight key depends on whether a username exists, so an attacker who can send concurrent requests can enumerate valid usernames by timing responses, without credentials. The source gives no credential disclosure or authentication bypass. Upgrade to Traefik 3.7.13, which fixes the issue; v3.6 is end of life.
