CVE-2025-66305: Grav vulnerable to Denial of Service via Improper Input Handling in 'Supported' Parameter
A Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability was identified in the “Languages” submenu of the Grav admin configuration panel (/admin/config/system). Specifically, the Supported parameter fails to properly validate user input. If a malformed value is inserted—such as a single forward slash (/) or an XSS test string—it causes a fatal regular expression parsing error on the server.
This leads to application-wide failure due to the use of the preg_match() function with an improperly constructed regular expression, resulting in the following error:
preg_match(): Unknown modifier 'o' File: /system/src/Grav/Common/Language/Language.php line 244
Once triggered, the site becomes completely unavailable to all users.
