Traefik is an open source HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer. When Traefik is configured to use the HTTPChallenge to generate and renew the Let's Encrypt TLS certificates, the delay authorized to solve the challenge (50 seconds) can be exploited by attackers to achieve a slowloris attack. This vulnerability has been patch in version 2.10.6 and 3.0.0-beta5. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade should replace the HTTPChallenge with the TLSChallenge or the DNSChallenge.
CVE-2023-47124
This medium-severity CVE scores 5.9 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 0.8%, top 48% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- Lower severity and no public exploit yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
