Caddy Web Server Improper Input Validation Vulnerability - CVE-2026-45135

Caddy is an extensible server platform that uses TLS by default. From 2.7.0 until 2.11.3 the FastCGI transport39s splitPos() in modules/caddyhttp/reverseproxy/fastcgi/fastcgi.go misuses golang.org/x/text/search with search.IgnoreCase when the request path contains a non-ASCII byte. Two distinct flaws in that fallback let an attacker mislead Caddy39s FastCGI splitting into treating a non-.php (or other configured split_path extension) file as a script. In any deployment where the attacker can place content into a file served via FastCGI (uploads file storage etc.) this can be escalated to remote code execution by crafting a URL whose path triggers either flaw. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.11.3.
