Caddy: MatchPath %xx (escaped-path) branch skips case normalization, enabling path-based route/auth bypass

Published Feb 24, 2026 · Updated Feb 27, 2026 · Assigned by GitHub_M

Description

Caddy is an extensible server platform that uses TLS by default. Prior to version 2.11.1, Caddy's HTTP `path` request matcher is intended to be case-insensitive, but when the match pattern contains percent-escape sequences (`%xx`) it compares against the request's escaped path without lowercasing. An attacker can bypass path-based routing and any access controls attached to that route by changing the casing of the request path. Version 2.11.1 contains a fix for the issue.
