There exists a potential open redirect vulnerability in Traefik’s handling of the X-Forwarded-Prefix
header. Active Exploitation of this issue is unlikely as it would require active header injection, however the Traefik team addressed this issue nonetheless to prevent abuse in e.g. cache poisoning scenarios.
The Traefik API dashboard component doesn’t validate that the value of the header X-Forwarded-Prefix
is a site relative path and will redirect to any header provided URI.
e.g.
$ curl --header 'Host:traefik.localhost' --header 'X-Forwarded-Prefix:https://example.org' 'http://localhost:8081'
<a href="https://example.org/dashboard/">Found</a>.`
A successful exploitation of an open redirect can be used to entice victims to disclose sensitive information.
By using the headers
middleware, the request header X-Forwarded-Prefix
value can be overridden by the value .
