MEDIUM 4.4WATCHLISTUPGRADE

CVE-2026-119573 is a medium-severity flaw (CVSS 4.4) affecting traefik. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

Traefik 3.7.11 before 3.7.15 contains an authorization bypass in the Kubernetes Ingress NGINX provider that skips the cross-namespace check on the auth-tls-secret annotation when a cached client authentication TLS option is reused. Users who can create Ingresses can reference another namespace's CA secret already used by another Ingress, enforcing it on their own routes and learning whether it exists, without disclosure of its contents.

traefik traefik UPGRADE

Affected: >= 3.7.11 and < 3.7.15

Fixed in: 3.7.15

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 3.7.11

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy traefik || rpm -q traefik || traefik --version

2. UPGRADE to 3.7.15 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade traefik

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade traefik

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 3.7.11 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison traefik sudo apt install traefik=<VERSION_BEFORE_3.7.11> sudo apt-mark hold traefik

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list traefik sudo dnf downgrade traefik-<VERSION_BEFORE_3.7.11> sudo dnf versionlock add traefik

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
