A cache may be hired by a user, origin or even a network operator to act as a "front" to the origin. Is it not a middlebox because of this? It is a question of definition if a CDN is in the middle or the endpoint :)

A CDN is not a middlebox, it is not a MITM.  It is a site that the origin has hired to 
act as a "front" to it.
