Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-02-24 17:04:19 UTC 
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.
