SCA: security update for github.com/caddyserver/caddy/v2 (GHSA-qrp7-cvwr-j2c6)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 443327

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- 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. (CVE-2026-52844)

Solution

Update the github.com/caddyserver/caddy/v2 library and its related packages to version 2.11.4 or later.
