SCA: security update for github.com/caddyserver/caddy/v2 (GHSA-vcc4-2c75-vc9v)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 443340

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, Caddy’s stripHTML
template function cannot reliably remove all HTML tags from input strings. Certain malformed HTML, such as
<<>img src=x onerror=alert()>, can bypass the tag-stripping logic, potentially leaving dangerous content
in the output if it is later rendered as HTML. This may allow client-side XSS in cases where untrusted
strings are rendered unsafely. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.11.4. (CVE-2026-52846)

Solution

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