Traefik is an open source HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer. Prior to 2.11.57, and 3.7.13, Traefik accepts a rootless HTTP/1 request target that Go stores in URL.Opaque while leaving URL.Path empty. The rewriteRequestBuilder path evaluates routing, path sanitization, forwardAuth, encodedCharacters, and access logging against a path normalized to / but forwards URL.Opaque verbatim to the backend, allowing cross-vhost routing bypass, path-scoped authorization bypass, and access-log evasion when the backend interprets the opaque target as a path. This issue is fixed in 2.11.57 and 3.7.13.

Affected: Go: github.com/traefik/traefik/v3, Go: github.com/traefik/traefik/v2

## Summary

Traefik accepts an HTTP/1.x request whose request-target is in rootless / opaque form (for example `GET http:http://internal-vhost/admin HTTP/1.1`). Go parses this into `URL.Opaque` with an empty `URL.Path`, so Traefik evaluates all routing, path-sanitization, middleware and access-log decisions against a path that normalizes to `/`, while the proxy forwards the attacker's original target byte-for-byte to the backend. Router path/prefix guards, `forwardAuth` path-scoped policies and the `encodedCharacters` hardening never see the real target, and the access log records every such request as `GET / HTTP/1.1`. Against a backend that resolves a rootless target as a path, this yields cross-vhost routing bypass, path-scoped authorization bypass and access-log evasion — unauthenticated, with stock entrypoint defaults.

Traefik v3.0 through v3.6 are end-of-life and are also affected; they will not receive a fix on their own line. Users on those versions must upgrade to v3.7.13.
