Medium (6.9) in caddyserver caddy. EPSS 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in github.com/caddyserver/caddy/v2 2.11.1.
Caddy is an extensible server platform that uses TLS by default. Prior to version 2.11.1, the path sanitization routine in file matcher doesn't sanitize backslashes which can lead to bypassing path related security protections. It affects users with specific Caddy and environment configurations. Version 2.11.1 fixes the issue.
