CRITICAL 9.1

Description

Caddy is an extensible server platform that uses TLS by default. Prior to version 2.11.1, Caddy's HTTP `host` request matcher is documented as case-insensitive, but when configured with a large host list (>100 entries) it becomes case-sensitive due to an optimized matching path. An attacker can bypass host-based routing and any access controls attached to that route by changing the casing of the `Host` header. Version 2.11.1 contains a fix for the issue.

Analysis

Host header case sensitivity bypass in Caddy before 2.11.1. Virtual host routing can be bypassed by using alternate casing in the Host header. …

Remediation

Within 24 hours: Inventory all Caddy deployments and identify instances with >100 host entries in configuration; implement emergency WAF rules to normalize request headers to lowercase. Within 7 days: Reduce host list entries below 100 where possible through consolidation or wildcard patterns; isolate affected Caddy instances from untrusted networks. …
