Compensating controls
- Validate the affected product branch and deploy the verified fixed release.
- Restrict the affected network interface to trusted sources where business-safe.
- Monitor vendor guidance and exploitation sources for a material change.
Verification
- Confirm that the asset runs traefik traefik and falls inside the recorded affected range.
- Verify the installed build against the product-specific fixed version after deployment.
- Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
- Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.
Remediation availability differs by product scope
Verified remediation exists for at least one product or source, but 1 structured product or package state remain unresolved. Apply remediation only to the exact product branch confirmed by its source.

- Summary
- A flaw was found in Traefik, an open-source HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer. Its Kubernetes Gateway API provider incorrectly generates unique identifiers for routes and services. This vulnerability allows an attacker to create conflicting routes, which can then overwrite the backend services of another isolated environment (namespace). This could lead to unauthorized control over services in different namespaces.
- Remediation
- To mitigate this flaw, restrict RBAC permissions to prevent untrusted tenants from creating or modifying Kubernetes Gateway API route resources (HTTPRoute, GRPCRoute, TCPRoute, and TLSRoute). Alternatively, deploy isolated Traefik ingress controller instances with single-namespace scope enforcement.
High technical severity; prioritise exposed affected systems while verifying vendor guidance. Verified remediation exists for at least one product or source, but 1 structured product or package state remain unresolved. Apply remediation only to the exact product branch confirmed by its source.
Fix availability varies by product01
What, why and how
Traefik is an open source HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer. From 3.0.0 until 3.6.25 and 3.7.10, Traefik's Kubernetes Gateway API provider in pkg/provider/kubernetes/gateway/httproute.go, grpcroute.go, tcproute.go, and tlsroute.go builds HTTPRoute, GRPCRoute, TCPRoute, and TLSRoute router and service identities by hyphen-concatenating namespace, route name, Gateway identity, entry point, and rule index, allowing colliding Routes to overwrite another namespace's backend. This issue is fixed in 3.6.25 and 3.7.10.

This issue is fixed in 3.6.25 and 3.7.10.
Why
The product uses multiple resources that can have the same identifier, in a context in which unique identifiers are required.
How
An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation with low privileges. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

Exploit reality and attack path
CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.
Observed exploitation No confirmed evidence
?
Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.
Public PoC / exploit material None recorded
?
Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.
- Likely attack path
- a network path → Use of Multiple Resources with Duplicate Identifier → cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor
- Attack surface
- Network
- Privileges required
- Low: a basic authenticated account is required
- User interaction
- None
- Attack complexity
- Low: no specialised conditions are recorded
- Security boundary
- Not a CVSS 4.0 base metric
- Weakness
?
CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration: a standard category for the underlying weakness. - CWE-694 ↗
CWE-694: Use of Multiple Resources with Duplicate Identifier. The product uses multiple resources that can have the same identifier, in a context in which unique identifiers are required.

Patch and workaround
Operational remediation based on structured source evidence.
- Status
?
Patch availability is based on structured fixed-version fields and authoritative update references. If no fix is verified, check the vendor advisory before making a change. - Fix availability varies by product
- Action
- Use the product-specific evidence above. Patch only products with a verified fixed release, and keep every affected or under-investigation state without a matching fix in the remediation queue.
- Workaround
- To mitigate this flaw, restrict RBAC permissions to prevent untrusted tenants from creating or modifying Kubernetes Gateway API route resources (HTTPRoute, GRPCRoute, TCPRoute, and TLSRoute). Alternatively, deploy isolated Traefik ingress controller instances with single-namespace scope enforcement.
