CVE-2026-32695: Traefik has Knative Ingress Rule Injection that Allows Host Restriction Bypass
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 25/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.47% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: github.com/traefik/traefik/v3 (Go) 3.7.0-ea.2, 3.6.11; govulncheck-vulndb (openSUSE:Leap 15.6) 0.0.20260402T184258-150000.1.158.1; traefik (openSUSE:Tumbleweed) 3.6.12-1.1.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to github.com/traefik/traefik/v3 (Go) 3.7.0-ea.2, 3.6.11; govulncheck-vulndb (openSUSE:Leap 15.6) 0.0.20260402T184258-150000.1.158.1; traefik (openSUSE:Tumbleweed) 3.6.12-1.1 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
Traefik is an HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer. Prior to versions 3.6.11 and 3.7.0-ea.2, Traefik's Knative provider builds router rules by interpolating user-controlled values into backtick-delimited rule expressions without escaping. In live cluster validation, Knative `rules[].hosts[]` was exploitable for host restriction bypass (for example `tenant.example.com`) || Host(`attacker.com`), producing a router that serves attacker-controlled hosts. Knative `headers[].exact` also allows rule-syntax injection and proves unsafe rule construction. In multi-tenant clusters, this can route unauthorized traffic to victim services and lead to cross-tenant traffic exposure. Versions 3.6.11 and 3.7.0-ea.2 patch the issue.
