Traefik routes exposed with an empty TLSOption

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published Dec 8, 2022 in traefik/traefik • Updated Jan 28, 2023

Package

gomod github.com/traefik/traefik/v2 (Go)

Affected versions

< 2.9.6

Patched versions

2.9.6

Description

Impact

There is a potential vulnerability in Traefik managing the TLS connections.

A router configured with a not well-formatted TLSOption is exposed with an empty TLSOption.

For instance, a route secured using an mTLS connection set with a wrong CA file is exposed without verifying the client certificates.

Patches

https://github.com/traefik/traefik/releases/tag/v2.9.6

Workarounds

Check the logs to detect the following error messages and fix your TLS options:

  • Empty CA:
{"level":"error","msg":"invalid clientAuthType: RequireAndVerifyClientCert, CAFiles is required","routerName":"Router0@file"}
  • Bad CA content (or bad path):
{"level":"error","msg":"invalid certificate(s) content","routerName":"Router0@file"}
  • Unknown Client Auth Type:
{"level":"error","msg":"unknown client auth type \"FooClientAuthType\"","routerName":"Router0@file"}
  • Invalid cipherSuites
{"level":"error","msg":"invalid CipherSuite: foobar","routerName":"Router0@file"}
  • Invalid curvePreferences
{"level":"error","msg":"invalid CurveID in curvePreferences: foobar","routerName":"Router0@file"}

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
