CVE-2026-67309 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 7.5) affecting traefik. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

Traefik versions >= v3.7.0 and <= v3.7.7 contain a path traversal vulnerability in the Kubernetes Ingress NGINX provider's RewriteTarget middleware (generated from the nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target annotation). When an Ingress path uses a regex that captures attacker-controlled text without requiring a path separator (e.g., path /api(.*) with rewrite target /$1), a crafted request such as /api../admin matches the public router, is re

traefik traefik UPGRADE

Affected: >= 3.7.0 and < 3.7.8

Fixed in: 3.7.8

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 3.7.0

1. Check installed version

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

2. UPGRADE to 3.7.8 (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 3.7.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison traefik sudo apt install traefik=<VERSION_BEFORE_3.7.0> 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_3.7.0> 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.
