Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Traefik versions 3.7.0 through 3.7.7 (Go module github.com/traefik/traefik/v3) are vulnerable when the Kubernetes Ingress NGINX provider is used with a rewrite-target annotation whose regex captures text without requiring a path separator, such as /api(.*) with /$1. An unauthenticated network attacker can send a crafted request that is rewritten into a dot-segment traversal path after routing, which can bypass BasicAuth, DigestAuth, or ForwardAuth on a separate protected router and reach backend paths such as /admin. Upgrade to Traefik 3.7.8, which is listed as the fixed version.
