Cross-user response poisoning via unframed CONNECT bodies
Published Aug 6, 2026 · Updated Aug 6, 2026
Response smuggling in Traefik Proxy before 2.11.53, 3.0.0 through 3.6.23, or 3.7.0 through 3.7.8 lets remote attackers poison cross-user responses. The default httputil reverse proxy writes an HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 CONNECT body unframed to an HTTP/1.1 upstream, then returns the desynchronized socket to its shared idle pool after a keep-alive non-2xx response. Exploitation requires an upstream that leaves the CONNECT body undrained; another client can receive attacker-chosen, authenticated, or private content.
