Description
CVE-2026-121966 is a vulnerability in Traefik versions 2.x before 2.11.60 and 3.x before 3.7.16. It involves the exposure of authentication data due to shared connection pools for ForwardAuth subrequests and Ingress NGINX auth-url requests. An unauthenticated attacker can reuse another user's authenticated connection, gaining access to the victim's identity and potentially accessing backend services as that user.
