  - Caddy is an extensible server platform that uses TLS by default. From 2.7.0 until 2.11.3, the FastCGI
    transport's splitPos() in modules/caddyhttp/reverseproxy/fastcgi/fastcgi.go misuses
    golang.org/x/text/search with search.IgnoreCase when the request path contains a non-ASCII byte. Two
    distinct flaws in that fallback let an attacker mislead Caddy's FastCGI splitting into treating a non-.php
    (or other configured split_path extension) file as a script. In any deployment where the attacker can
    place content into a file served via FastCGI (uploads, file storage, etc.), this can be escalated to
    remote code execution by crafting a URL whose path triggers either flaw. This vulnerability is fixed in
    2.11.3. (CVE-2026-45135)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
