CVE-2026-86197

Grav before version 2.0.1 contains a decompression bomb vulnerability in the ZipArchiver::extract() method, which lacks limits on uncompressed size, file count, and nesting depth. Attackers can supply a crafted ZIP archive that expands to fill available disk space, causing denial of service by exhausting storage resources.

Grav before version 2.0.2 contains a Twig sandbox bypass that allows a page author (any admin.pages user, or anyone able to write to user/pages) to exfiltrate configuration secrets. Although the sandbox replaces the 'config' variable with a redacted facade and strips Config::get/toArray from the method allowlist, the raw container remains accessible via the allow-listed grav.offsetGet('config'), which returns the real Config object. Allow-listed object-dumping filters (json_encode, print_r, yaml_encode) then serialize that object at the PHP level without invoking the sandbox method gate, exposing the full config tree including plugin secrets such as SMTP credentials, API keys, and plugin DB credentials.

Grav before version 2.0.0 (up to 2.0.0-rc.9 and the 2.0 branch) contains a stored CSS injection vulnerability in the Markdown image resize() media action. Prior media hardening rejects direct ?style= payloads and unsafe attribute() fallbacks, but the resize() action in Excerpts::processMediaActions() writes caller-controlled values directly into the image's styleAttributes. A lower-privileged content editor who can edit page Markdown can store a crafted image URL with semicolon-delimited CSS declarations in the resize parameters, which are rendered into the final <img style=...> attribute when a higher-privileged reviewer/admin views the page or preview.

Grav before version 2.0.0-beta.2 contains an XML external entity injection (XXE) vulnerability in SVG file upload processing that allows authenticated attackers to read arbitrary files. The application uses simplexml_load_string without disabling external entity loading, enabling attackers to inject XXE payloads via malicious SVG files.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
