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"}

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/traefik/traefik/v2, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update github.com/traefik/traefik/v2 to 2.9.6 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2022-46153 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
