Summary
Grav before 2.0.25 ships web server configuration samples whose access-control deny rules are matched case-sensitively. In web.config (IIS), every deny rule sets ignoreCase="false", allowing bypass by varying case in folder names or file extensions. On case-insensitive NTFS, an unauthenticated remote attacker can access sensitive files like configuration secrets or password hashes.
Risk Assessment
The risk is remote unauthenticated disclosure of sensitive files (e.g., configs, passwords) in IIS environments on NTFS. This can lead to full compromise of the application and user data.
Recommendation
Upgrade Grav to 2.0.25 or later immediately. After upgrading, manually re-copy the corrected web.config and lighttpd.conf files to the server, as the installer does not update them automatically.
Other vulnerabilities in Grav
See all- CVE-2026-109326High
Grav before 2.1.7 contains an information disclosure vulnerability because bundled nginx, lighttpd, IIS, and Caddy 2 configurations block .git only at document root. Unauthenticated attackers can request nested repositories such as user/.git to retrieve Git config, refs, and objects, reconstructing unpublished history or committed secrets.
- CVE-2026-100668Medium
Grav 2.0.0 through 2.0.24 contain a Twig content sandbox escape. The `array` filter is allowlisted but lacks the sandbox guard, allowing access to the raw DI container and disclosure of the full configuration tree, including credentials and secrets, to anonymous visitors.
- CVE-2026-44738High
Grav is a file-based web platform. Prior to version 2.0.0-rc.2, the Twig sandbox allow-list permitted any user with the admin.pages role to call config.toArray() within a page body, dumping the entire merged site configuration, including all plugin secrets.
- CVE-2026-42611High
Grav is a file-based web platform. Prior to version 2.0.0-beta.2, a low-privileged user could inject an svg element, leading to an XSS attack that could escalate to dumping system information available under /admin/config/info when a Super Admin visits the page.
- CVE-2026-75837Critical
Grav before 2.0.14 fails to guard the access field in the core group blueprint with the required security@: admin.super restriction. A delegated admin.users operator can save a group with access[admin][super]=true to escalate to super-admin, gaining scheduler and Twig evaluation capabilities.
- CVE-2026-65008Critical
Grav 2.0.4 (fixed in 2.0.7) contains a remote code execution vulnerability in Blueprint::dynamicData(). The function passes a Class::method callable string and its arguments directly to call_user_func_array() without any allowlist. Because the form plugin routes page frontmatter through this path, an authenticated account with admin.pages (or api.pages.write) permission can plant a malicious callable directive in a page. The command executes as the web-server user whenever anyone – including an unauthenticated visitor – accesses the page.
- CVE-2025-66844Critical
In grav before 1.7.49.5, a SSRF (Server-Side Request Forgery) vector may be triggered via Twig templates when page content is processed by Twig and the configuration allows undefined PHP functions to be registered.
- CVE-2025-66301Critical
Grav is a file-based Web platform. Prior to 1.8.0-beta.27, due to improper authorization checks when modifying critical fields on a POST request to /admin/pages/{page_name}, an editor with only permissions to change basic content on the form is now able to change the functioning of the form through modifying the content of the data[_json][header][form] which is the YAML frontmatter which includes the process section which dictates what happens after a user submits the form which include some important actions that could lead to further vulnerabilities. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.8.0-beta.27.
- CVE-2026-109325High
Grav from 2.0.22 before 2.1.7 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the Clockwork profiler that trusts loopback REMOTE_ADDR values. Unauthenticated attackers behind a same-host HTTP proxy can read profiler records exposing system and plugin configuration, secrets, request metadata, and queries.
- CVE-2026-109324Medium
Grav before 2.1.7 contains a denial of service vulnerability that allows authenticated media authors to exhaust memory by uploading compressed oversized raster images. Attackers can reference a Twig or Markdown transform so GD or Imagick decodes the full source without dimension checks, letting anonymous requests repeatedly cause page unavailability.
Original NVD description (English source)
Grav before 2.0.25 ships web server configuration samples whose access-control deny rules are matched case-sensitively. In webserver-configs/web.config (IIS), every deny rule (user_sensitive_folders, user_accounts, user_data, user_error_redirect, user_pages, system, vendor, ignore_folders) sets ignoreCase="false" on its URL Rewrite <match> element, overriding the IIS default of ignoreCase="true"; because these are rewrite matches rather than <requestFiltering> elements, there is no case-insensitive fallback. On IIS running over case-insensitive NTFS, an unauthenticated remote attacker can vary the case of a folder name or file extension (for example GET /user/CONFIG/system.YAML) so that no deny rule matches and the IIS static file handler resolves and returns the underlying file, disclosing sensitive data such as configuration secrets or account password hashes. Whether a bypassed file is actually returned depends on MIME registration: .json is served by default, while .yaml/.yml return HTTP 404.3 on a stock IIS unless a YAML MIME mapping has been added. The same class of gap exists in the bundled webserver-configs/lighttpd.conf, whose user/(config|env), directory, script-extension, root-file and dotfile rules lack the (?i) modifier, though it is lower risk because lighttpd typically runs on case-sensitive filesystems. Deployments served by Apache (.htaccess), nginx, Caddy, or the PHP built-in server are not affected. The issue is fixed in 2.0.25; because the .htaccess installer heal does not touch web.config or lighttpd.conf, operators must re-copy the corrected sample files after upgrading.
