Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.


1) Authentication Bypass by Spoofing (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-33433)

The vulnerability allows a remote user to spoof identities to backend services.

The vulnerability exists due to authentication bypass by spoofing in the BasicAuth and DigestAuth authentication middlewares when processing requests with a configured non-canonical headerField header name. A remote privileged user can inject a canonical version of the configured header to spoof identities to backend services.

Exploitation requires headerField to be configured with a non-canonical HTTP header name, and backend services to trust that header for authorization decisions.
