Caddy's mTLS client authentication silently fails open when CA certificate file is missing or malformed
Résumé
Caddy's mTLS client authentication silently fails open when CA certificate file is missing or malformed
Description d'origine
La description telle que publiée par la source (souvent en anglais).
Caddy is an extensible server platform that uses TLS by default. Prior to version 2.11.1, two swallowed errors in ClientAuthentication.provision() cause mTLS client certificate authentication to silently fail open when a CA certificate file is missing, unreadable, or malformed. The server starts without error but accepts any client certificate signed by any system-trusted CA, completely bypassing the intended private CA trust boundary. Any deployment using trusted_ca_cert_file or trusted_ca_certs_pem_files for mTLS will silently degrade to accepting any system-trusted client certificate if the CA file becomes unavailable. This can happen due to a typo in the path, file rotation, corruption, or permission changes. The server gives no indication that mTLS is misconfigured. Version 2.11.1 fixes the vulnerability.
