SCA: security update for github.com/caddyserver/caddy/v2 (GHSA-879p-475x-rqh2)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 438004

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 version 2.11.1, the local caddy
 admin API (default listen `127.0.0.1:2019`) exposes a state-changing `POST /load` endpoint that replaces
 the entire running configuration. When origin enforcement is not enabled (`enforce_origin` not
 configured), the admin endpoint accepts cross-origin requests (e.g., from attacker-controlled web content
 in a victim browser) and applies an attacker-supplied JSON config. This can change the admin listener
 settings and alter HTTP server behavior without user intent. Version 2.11.1 contains a fix for the issue.
 (CVE-2026-27589)
