Summary

Caddy Proxy Manager enables email and password self-registration by default at /api/auth/sign-up/email. An unauthenticated remote actor can create an active account with the user role without administrator approval. The user role cannot view or modify proxy data, so the direct impact is limited to unauthorized creation of low-privilege accounts. This issue is fixed in version 1.5.1.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can mass-create unauthorized low-privilege accounts, cluttering the system and potentially serving as a foothold for further attacks. The risk is limited because the user role does not grant access to proxy data.

Recommendation

Update Caddy Proxy Manager to version 1.5.1 or later. If updating is not possible, set AUTH_ALLOW_SELF_REGISTRATION to a value other than true to disable self-registration.

Original NVD description (English source)

Caddy Proxy Manager is a web interface for managing Caddy Server reverse proxies and certificates. Prior to 1.5.1, Caddy Proxy Manager enables email and password self-registration by default at /api/auth/sign-up/email, allowing an unauthenticated remote actor to create an active account with the user role without administrator approval. The user role cannot view or modify proxy data, so the direct impact is limited to unauthorized creation of low-privilege accounts. The fixed configuration in src/lib/config.ts and src/lib/auth-server.ts requires AUTH_ALLOW_SELF_REGISTRATION=true before the authentication library's disableSignUp control permits sign-up. This issue is fixed in version 1.5.1.
