## Affected packages

- `github.com/traefik/traefik/v3` (Go): affected `>=3.7.0, <3.7.3 || <3.6.18`; fixed in `3.7.3`, `3.6.18`
- `github.com/traefik/traefik/v2` (Go): affected `<2.11.51`; fixed in `2.11.51`
- `github.com/traefik/traefik` (Go): affected `<=1.7.34`; no fixed version yet

## Machine-written summary

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

> Traefik v3 versions before 3.6.18 and from 3.7.0 before 3.7.3, Traefik v2 before 2.11.51, and Traefik v1 at or below 1.7.34 are affected, with fixes in 3.6.18, 3.7.3, and 2.11.51; no fix is listed for v1. When HTTP/3 is enabled, TLS option lookup is case-sensitive and exact, so a router's mTLS requirement can be skipped for wildcard or mixed-case hostnames. An unauthenticated client that can reach the UDP entrypoint may then reach a backend that requires client certificates. Upgrade to a fixed version, or disable HTTP/3 on affected entrypoints as a workaround.

## Check whether this affects you

A Match means an installed version is in the affected range above. Most don’t affect the app; agentprime hasn’t analysed this one yet.

- With the agentprime MCP server (<https://api.agentprime.io/mcp>), ask your agent to check the project: `check_lockfile` sends a lockfile, `check_packages` a list of installed packages, and both return the Matches and the upgrades that clear them. `get_advisory` returns this record. Setup: <https://agentprime.io/mcp.md>
- In a browser: <https://agentprime.io/check/> reads your lockfile in the browser, never uploading it.
- Whether it touches your code, with file and line: the Claude Code plugin, <https://agentprime.io/plugin.md>
- As JSON: <https://api.agentprime.io/v1/advisories/GHSA-9cr8-q42q-g8m7>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
