CVE-2026-40575 is a configuration-dependent authentication bypass in OAuth2 Proxy versions 7.5.0 through 7.15.1. When reverse-proxy mode is enabled and at least one skip-auth route or regular-expression rule is configured, OAuth2 Proxy may trust a client-controlled X-Forwarded-Uri header when evaluating whether authentication should be skipped. An attacker can supply a header value matching an allow-listed path while requesting a different, protected path. OAuth2 Proxy evaluates the skip-auth decision against the spoofed value, while the upstream application receives the original protected request.

A previously addressed or referenced OAuth2 Proxy vulnerability whose guard is described as ineffective in the default reverse-proxy configuration in the context of CVE-2026-76835.
An authentication bypass vulnerability in OAuth2 Proxy where a client-supplied X-Forwarded-Uri header can influence skip-auth decisions because trusted proxy handling defaults to trusting all clients in reverse-proxy mode.
An authentication bypass vulnerability in OAuth2 Proxy caused by trusting a client-supplied X-Forwarded-Uri header under specific reverse-proxy and skip-auth configurations, allowing unauthenticated remote access to protected routes.
