CVE-2026-42608: Grav has Unauthenticated Path Traversal & Arbitrary File Write in its FormFlash component

Grav CMS (v1.7.49.5 and latest development source) is vulnerable to a Zero-Day Path Traversal vulnerability within the FormFlash core component. By manipulating the session_id (passed as __form-flash-id in POST requests), an unauthenticated attacker can traverse the filesystem to create arbitrary directories and write an index.yaml file containing attacker-controlled data.

This vulnerability can lead to unauthorized modification of application behavior, potential data integrity issues, and service disruption in production environments.
