CVE-2026-27590

Caddy is an extensible server platform that uses TLS by default. Prior to version 2.11.1, Caddy's FastCGI path splitting logic computes the split index on a lowercased copy of the request path and then uses that byte index to slice the original path. This is unsafe for Unicode because strings.ToLower() can change UTF-8 byte length for some characters. As a result, Caddy can derive an incorrect SCRIPT_NAME/SCRIPT_FILENAME and PATH_INFO, potentially causing a request that contains .php to execute a different on-disk file than intended (path confusion). In setups where an attacker can control file contents (e.g., upload features), this can lead to unintended PHP execution of non-.php files (potential RCE depending on deployment). Version 2.11.1 fixes the issue.
