caddyserver — Vulnerabilities & Security Advisories 16

Caddyserver is an open-source web server with automatic HTTPS that primarily serves static content and reverse proxies. Historically, it has been susceptible to remote code execution, cross-site scripting, and privilege escalation vulnerabilities, often stemming from improper input validation and insecure default configurations. While no major security incidents have been widely documented, its 8 recorded CVEs highlight potential risks in areas like path traversal and request smuggling. The platform's security posture benefits from regular updates and a focus on simplicity, though deployments should implement proper access controls and input sanitization to mitigate identified weaknesses.
