Caddy: Unbounded body buffer via {http.request.body} placeholder — memory exhaustion DoS

Published Sep 23, 2026 · Updated Sep 23, 2026 · Assigned by GitHub_M

Description

Caddy is an extensible server platform that uses TLS by default. In version 2.11.3 and earlier, in modules/caddyhttp/replacer.go, resolving http.request.body reads the complete request body with an unbounded io.Copy before request-body middleware limits apply, allowing memory exhaustion and process termination.
