Caddy Web Server Partial String Comparison Vulnerability - CVE-2026-45692
Caddy is an extensible server platform that uses TLS by default. From 2.4.0 until 2.11.3 the authorization layer and the /config traversal layer do not agree on what object the path refers to. In this case a path authorized for one config object is accepted but then resolves to a different config object during traversal. This happens because the authorization layer uses string prefix matching and the /config traversal layer parses array indices numerically using strconv.Atoi(). This vulnerability is fixed in 2.11.3.
