CVE-2026-52844
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
Caddy is an extensible server platform that uses TLS by default. Prior to 2.11.4, on Windows, Caddy path matchers treat /private\secret.txt as outside /private/*, but file_server later resolves the same request path as private\secret.txt on disk. An unauthenticated remote client can bypass Caddy path-scoped auth/deny routes protecting /private/*. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.11.4.

Antes de la versión 2.11.4, en Windows, los emparejadores de rutas de Caddy tratan /private\\secret.txt como fuera de /private/*, pero file_server luego resuelve la misma ruta de solicitud como private\\secret.txt en el disco. Un cliente remoto no autenticado puede eludir las rutas de auth/deny con ámbito de ruta de Caddy que protegen /private/*. Esta vulnerabilidad se corrige en la versión 2.11.4."
