Advisories for Composer/Getgrav/Grav package

A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in Grav’s Admin plugin due to the absence of username uniqueness validation when creating users. A user with the create user permission can create a new account using the same username as an existing administrator account, set a new password/email, and then log in as that administrator. This effectively allows privilege escalation from limited user-manager permissions to full administrator access.

A user with admin panel access and permissions to create or edit pages in Grav CMS can enable Twig processing in the page frontmatter. By injecting malicious Twig expressions, the user can escalate their privileges to admin or execute arbitrary system commands via the scheduler API. This results in both Privilege Escalation (PE) and Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerabilities.

A path traversal vulnerability has been identified in Grav CMS, versions 1.7.49.5 , allowing authenticated attackers with administrative privileges to read arbitrary files on the underlying server filesystem. This vulnerability arises due to insufficient input sanitization in the backup tool, where user-supplied paths are not properly restricted, enabling access to files outside the intended webroot directory. The impact of this vulnerability depends on the privileges of the user account running …

When a user with privilege of user creation creates a new user through the Admin UI and supplies a username containing path traversal sequences (for example ..\Nijat or ../Nijat), Grav writes the account YAML file to an unintended path outside user/accounts/. The written YAML can contain account fields such as email, fullname, twofa_secret, and hashed_password. In my tests, I was able to cause the Admin UI to write the following …

An IDOR (Insecure Direct Object Reference) vulnerability in the Grav CMS Admin Panel allows low-privilege users to access sensitive information from other accounts. Although direct account takeover is not possible, admin email addresses and other metadata can be exposed, increasing the risk of phishing, credential stuffing, and social engineering.

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 …

A Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability was identified in the /admin/pages/[page] endpoint of the Grav application. This vulnerability allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into the data[header][template] parameter. The script is saved within the page's frontmatter and executed automatically whenever the affected content is rendered in the administrative interface or frontend view.

A Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability was identified in the /admin/pages/[page] endpoint of the Grav application. This vulnerability allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into the data[header][metadata], data[header][taxonomy][category], and data[header][taxonomy][tag] parameters. These scripts are stored in the page frontmatter and executed automatically whenever the affected page is accessed or rendered in the administrative interface.

Having a simple form on site can reveal the whole Grav configuration details (including plugin configuration details) by using the correct POST payload. Sensitive information may be contained in the configuration details.

Grav CMS is vulnerable to a Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI) that allows any authenticated user with editor permissions to execute arbitrary code on the remote server, bypassing the existing security sandbox.

A Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI) vulnerability exists in Grav that allows authenticated attackers with editor permissions to execute arbitrary commands on the server and, under certain conditions, may also be exploited by unauthenticated attackers. This vulnerability stems from weak regex validation in the cleanDangerousTwig method.

Exposure of Password Hashes Leading to privilege escalation Severity Rating: Medium Vector: Privilege Escalation CVE: XXX CWE: 200 - Exposure of Sensitive Information CVSS Score: 6.2 CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L Analysis It was observed that if a users is given read access on the user account management section of the admin panel can view the password hashes of all users, including the admin user. This exposure can potentially lead to privilege …

Grav CMS 1.7.49 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS). The page editor allows authenticated users to edit page content via a Markdown editor. The editor fails to properly sanitize tags, allowing stored XSS payloads to execute when pages are viewed in the admin interface.

A user enumeration and email disclosure vulnerability exists in Grav v1.7.49.5 with Admin plugin v1.10.49.1. The "Forgot Password" functionality at /admin/forgot leaks information about valid usernames and their associated email addresses through distinct server responses. This allows an attacker to enumerate users and disclose sensitive email addresses, which can be leveraged for targeted attacks such as password spraying, phishing, or social engineering.

A Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability was identified in the /admin/config/site endpoint of the Grav application. This vulnerability allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into the data[taxonomies] parameter. The injected payload is stored on the server and automatically executed in the browser of any user who accesses the affected site configuration, resulting in a persistent attack vector.

A Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability was identified in the /admin/accounts/groups/Grupo endpoint of the Grav application. This vulnerability allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into the data[readableName] parameter. The injected scripts are stored on the server and executed automatically whenever the affected page is accessed by users, posing a significant security risk.

A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Grav v1.7.45 allows attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts or HTML via a crafted payload.

A low privilege user account with page edit privilege can read any server files using Twig Syntax. This includes Grav user account files - /grav/user/accounts/*.yaml. This file stores hashed user password, 2FA secret, and the password reset token. This can allow an adversary to compromise any registered account by resetting a password for a user to get access to the password reset token from the file or by cracking the …

Due to the unrestricted access to twig extension class from grav context, an attacker can redefine the escape function and execute arbitrary commands.

Due to the unrestricted access to twig extension class from grav context, an attacker can redefine config variable. As a result, attacker can bypass previous patch.

Grav validates accessible functions through the Utils::isDangerousFunction function, but does not impose restrictions on twig functions like twig_array_map, allowing attackers to bypass the validation and execute arbitrary commands.

Grav is vulnerable to a file upload path traversal vulnerability, that can allow an adversary to replace or create files with extensions such as .json, .zip, .css, .gif, etc. This vulnerabiltiy can allow attackers to inject arbitrary code on the server, undermine integrity of backup files by overwriting existing backups or creating new ones, and exfiltrating sensitive data using CSS Injection exfiltration techniques.

Summary Due to insufficient permission verification, user who can write a page use frontmatter feature. Inadequate File Name Validation Details Insufficient Permission Verification In Grav CMS, "Frontmatter" refers to the metadata block located at the top of a Markdown file. Frontmatter serves the purpose of providing additional information about a specific page or post. In this feature, only administrators are granted access, while regular users who can create pages are …

A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Grav versions 1.7.44 and before, allows remote authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts or HTML via the onmouseover attribute of an ISINDEX element.

Grav is a file-based Web-platform built in PHP. Grav is subject to a server side template injection (SSTI) vulnerability. The fix for another SSTI vulnerability using |map, |filter and |reduce twigs implemented in the commit 71bbed1 introduces bypass of the denylist due to incorrect return value from isDangerousFunction(), which allows to execute the payload prepending double backslash (\). The isDangerousFunction() check in version 1.7.42 and onwards retuns false value instead …

Grav is a flat-file content management system. Prior to version 1.7.42, the patch for CVE-2022-2073, a server-side template injection vulnerability in Grav leveraging the default filter() function, does not block other built-in functions exposed by Twig's Core Extension that could be used to invoke arbitrary unsafe functions, thereby allowing for remote code execution. A patch in version 1.74.2 overrides the built-in Twig map() and reduce() filter functions in system/src/Grav/Common/Twig/Extension/GravExtension.php to …

Grav is a file-based Web platform. Prior to version 1.7.42, the denylist introduced in commit 9d6a2d to prevent dangerous functions from being executed via injection of malicious templates was insufficient and could be easily subverted in multiple ways – (1) using unsafe functions that are not banned, (2) using capitalised callable names, and (3) using fully-qualified names for referencing callables. Consequently, a low privileged attacker with login access to Grav …

Grav is a file-based Web platform. Prior to version 1.7.42, there is a logic flaw in the GravExtension.filterFilter() function whereby validation against a denylist of unsafe functions is only performed when the argument passed to filter is a string. However, passing an array as a callable argument allows the validation check to be skipped. Consequently, a low privileged attacker with login access to Grav Admin panel and page creation/update permissions …

Grav is a flat-file content management system. Versions prior to 1.7.42 is vulnerable to server side template injection. Remote code execution is possible by embedding malicious PHP code on the administrator screen by a user with page editing privileges. Version 1.7.42 contains a fix for this issue.
