                    "text": "### Summary\nCaddy's HTTP `host` request matcher is documented as case-insensitive, but when configured with a large host list (>100 entries) it becomes case-sensitive due to an optimized matching path. An attacker can bypass host-based routing and any access controls attached to that route by changing the casing of the `Host` header.\n\n### Details\nIn Caddy `v2.10.2`, the `MatchHost` matcher states it matches the Host value case-insensitively:\n\n- `modules/caddyhttp/matchers.go`: `type MatchHost matches requests by the Host value (case-insensitive).`\n\nHowever, in `MatchHost.MatchWithError`, when the host list is considered \"large\" (`len(m) > 100`):\n\n- `MatchHost.large()` returns true for `len(m) > 100` (`modules/caddyhttp/matchers.go`, around the `large()` helper).\n- The matcher takes a \"fast path\" using binary search over the sorted host list, and checks for an exact match using a case-sensitive string comparison (`m[pos] == reqHost`).\n- After the fast path fails, the fallback loop short-circuits for large lists by breaking as soon as it reaches the first non-fuzzy entry. For configs comprised of exact hostnames only (no wildcards/placeholders), this prevents the `strings.EqualFold(reqHost, host)` check from ever running.\n\nNet effect: with a host list length of 101 or more, changing only the casing of the incoming `Host` header can cause the `host` matcher to not match when it should.\n\n#### Suggested fix\n- Normalize exact hostnames to lower-case during `MatchHost.Provision` (at least for non-fuzzy entries).\n- Normalize the incoming request host (`reqHost`) to lower-case before the large-list binary search + equality check, so the optimized path stays case-insensitive.\n\nReproduced on:\n- Stable release: `v2.10.2` -- this is the release I reference in the repro below.\n- Dev build: `v2.11.0-beta.2`.\n- Master tip: commit `58968b3fd38cacbf4b5e07cc8c8be27696dce60f`.\n\n### PoC\nPrereqs:\n- bash, curl\n- A pre-built Caddy binary available at `/opt/caddy-2.10.2/caddy` (edit `CADDY_BIN` in the script if needed)\n\n<details>\n<summary>Script (Click to expand)</summary>\n\n```bash\n#!/usr/bin/env bash\nset -euo pipefail\n\nCADDY_BIN=\"/opt/caddy-2.10.2/caddy\"\nHOST=\"127.0.0.1\"\nPORT=\"8080\"\n\nTMPDIR=\"$(mktemp -d)\"\nCADDYFILE=\"${TMPDIR}/Caddyfile\"\nLOG=\"${TMPDIR}/caddy.log\"\n\ncleanup() {\n  if [ -n \"${CADDY_PID:-}\" ] && kill -0 \"${CADDY_PID}\" 2>/dev/null;

Any internet-exposed Caddy deployment that relies on `host` matchers with large host lists (>100) to select protected routes (e.g. applying `basicauth`, `forward_auth`, `respond` deny rules, or protecting `reverse_proxy` backends) can be bypassed by varying the case of the `Host` header, allowing unauthorized access to sensitive endpoints depending on upstream configuration.\n\nThe reproduction is minimal per the reporting guidance; a realistic \"full\" scenario is Caddy fronting a multi-tenant app and doing `forward_auth`/`basicauth`/`deny` for `/admin` only when host is in a big (>100) allowlist, but the default handler still `reverse_proxy`ing to the same app. Then sending `Host: H050.TEST` skips the guarded route in Caddy, yet the upstream still treats it as the same tenant host --> `/admin` is reachable without the intended guard.\n\n\n### AI Use Disclosure\nA custom AI agent pipeline was used to discover the vulnerability, after which was manually reproduced and validated each step.

                    "text": "### Summary\nCaddy's HTTP `host` request matcher is documented as case-insensitive, but when configured with a large host list (>100 entries) it becomes case-sensitive due to an optimized matching path. An attacker can bypass host-based routing and any access controls attached to that route by changing the casing of the `Host` header.\n\n### Details\nIn Caddy `v2.10.2`, the `MatchHost` matcher states it matches the Host value case-insensitively:\n\n- `modules/caddyhttp/matchers.go`: `type MatchHost matches requests by the Host value (case-insensitive).`\n\nHowever, in `MatchHost.MatchWithError`, when the host list is considered \"large\" (`len(m) > 100`):\n\n- `MatchHost.large()` returns true for `len(m) > 100` (`modules/caddyhttp/matchers.go`, around the `large()` helper).\n- The matcher takes a \"fast path\" using binary search over the sorted host list, and checks for an exact match using a case-sensitive string comparison (`m[pos] == reqHost`).\n- After the fast path fails, the fallback loop short-circuits for large lists by breaking as soon as it reaches the first non-fuzzy entry. For configs comprised of exact hostnames only (no wildcards/placeholders), this prevents the `strings.EqualFold(reqHost, host)` check from ever running.\n\nNet effect: with a host list length of 101 or more, changing only the casing of the incoming `Host` header can cause the `host` matcher to not match when it should.\n\n#### Suggested fix\n- Normalize exact hostnames to lower-case during `MatchHost.Provision` (at least for non-fuzzy entries).\n- Normalize the incoming request host (`reqHost`) to lower-case before the large-list binary search + equality check, so the optimized path stays case-insensitive.\n\nReproduced on:\n- Stable release: `v2.10.2` -- this is the release I reference in the repro below.\n- Dev build: `v2.11.0-beta.2`.\n- Master tip: commit `58968b3fd38cacbf4b5e07cc8c8be27696dce60f`.\n\n### PoC\nPrereqs:\n- bash, curl\n- A pre-built Caddy binary available at `/opt/caddy-2.10.2/caddy` (edit `CADDY_BIN` in the script if needed)\n\n<details>\n<summary>Script (Click to expand)</summary>\n\n```bash\n#!/usr/bin/env bash\nset -euo pipefail\n\nCADDY_BIN=\"/opt/caddy-2.10.2/caddy\"\nHOST=\"127.0.0.1\"\nPORT=\"8080\"\n\nTMPDIR=\"$(mktemp -d)\"\nCADDYFILE=\"${TMPDIR}/Caddyfile\"\nLOG=\"${TMPDIR}/caddy.log\"\n\ncleanup() {\n  if [ -n \"${CADDY_PID:-}\" ] && kill -0 \"${CADDY_PID}\" 2>/dev/null;

Any internet-exposed Caddy deployment that relies on `host` matchers with large host lists (>100) to select protected routes (e.g. applying `basicauth`, `forward_auth`, `respond` deny rules, or protecting `reverse_proxy` backends) can be bypassed by varying the case of the `Host` header, allowing unauthorized access to sensitive endpoints depending on upstream configuration.\n\nThe reproduction is minimal per the reporting guidance; a realistic \"full\" scenario is Caddy fronting a multi-tenant app and doing `forward_auth`/`basicauth`/`deny` for `/admin` only when host is in a big (>100) allowlist, but the default handler still `reverse_proxy`ing to the same app. Then sending `Host: H050.TEST` skips the guarded route in Caddy, yet the upstream still treats it as the same tenant host --> `/admin` is reachable without the intended guard.\n\n\n### AI Use Disclosure\nA custom AI agent pipeline was used to discover the vulnerability, after which was manually reproduced and validated each step. The entire report was ran through an LLM for editing.\n\n### Disclosure/crediting\n\nAsim Viladi Oglu Manizada",
