Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Fabio versions 1.6.6 through 1.7.1 are affected. When an operator enables the client IP, TLS, or request ID headers, a remote unauthenticated client can list those header names in the Connection header, causing the proxy to strip them before the request reaches the backend. A backend relying on those headers could then see a spoofed or missing client IP, incorrect TLS status, or lost request correlation. Upgrade to Fabio 1.7.2, which is the fixed version.
