Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-30851 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- github.com/caddyserver/caddy/v2/modules/caddyhttp/reverseproxy (Go): affected from 2.10.0; fixed in 2.11.2\n- github.com/caddyserver/caddy/v2/modules/caddyhttp/reverseproxy (Go): affected from 2.10.0; fixed in 2.11.2\n- github.com/caddyserver/caddy/v2 (Go): affected from 2.10.0; fixed in 2.11.2\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-30851/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-30851/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-30851","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-30851/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-30851","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7r4p-vjf4-gxv4","GO-2026-4639","MINI-vgjr-gr3p-cpxf","MINI-whjx-8fpg-cgrw","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-30851"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Caddy web server","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can inject identity headers via forward_auth copy_headers to bypass authentication and escalate privileges in Caddy servers.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"caddy","vendor":"caddyserver"}],"cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-345","name":"Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity"},{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"Caddy is an extensible server platform that uses TLS by default.
