The traefik project reports:

There is a potential vulnerability in Traefik managing the requests using a PathPrefix, Path or PathRegex matcher. When Traefik is configured to route the requests to a backend using a matcher based on the path; if the request path contains an encoded restricted character from the following set ('/', '', 'Null', ';', '?', '#'), it is possible to target a backend, exposed using another router, by-passing the middlewares chain.
