CVE-2026-65608: Grav: FlexDirectory::dynamicDataField() executes arbitrary callables from blueprint data with no validation
A missing validation check in Grav’s Flex framework lets an account holding nothing but an ordinary object-create permission on a single Flex directory execute arbitrary shell commands on the server. Any authenticated user with create or update rights on a Flex-based directory (Flex Users, Flex Pages, Flex Objects, or any custom Flex type) can trigger it the moment a blueprint field anywhere in that directory carries a data-*@: directive, since the code that resolves those directives calls call_user_func_array() on attacker-influenced input with no restriction at all.
This is a bypass of GHSA-fj2p-qj2f-74v5, already patched in 2.0.7. That fix added real validation to Blueprint::dynamicData(), but Grav’s Flex system routes the same directive through a separate, unprotected method, FlexDirectory::dynamicDataField(), which never received the same fix.
