Summary

Traefik versions from v3.7.1 fail to enforce crossProviderNamespaces restrictions on the traefik.ingress.kubernetes.io/service.middlewares Service annotation in the Kubernetes Ingress provider. A namespace-limited tenant excluded from the allowlist can attach an operator-owned middleware to its Service, and if that middleware injects backend credentials, recover them at a controlled backend.

Fencer Intel keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.

The maintainers of traefik/traefik published their own advisory on GitHub. Reviewed sources take precedence over it.
