The Grav Data Manager plugin (getgrav/grav-plugin-datamanager) versions 1.0.1 through 1.4.4 render stored data entries in the item-detail view (admin/templates/partials/item.html.twig) without escaping, applying Twig's `raw` filter — in some cases after a striptags('<br>') call that PHP's strip_tags() bypasses by preserving allowed tags together with their attributes. An unauthenticated visitor who submits a front-end form whose submissions are saved to user/data can store an HTML payload that executes as JavaScript in the session and origin of an administrator who later opens that entry in the classic admin panel, running with that administrator's privileges and CSRF token. Execution occurs without further interaction for list values (such as checkbox or multi-select fields) and on hover for ordinary text fields. Sites using the Grav 2.0 Admin Next interface are not affected, because it renders the same data through a separate, correctly escaping code path. The issue is fixed in Data Manager 1.4.5.

Grav 2.0.0 through 2.0.24 contain a Twig content sandbox escape. The `array` filter (and its identical function form) is on the sandbox allowlist but is registered without the needs_is_sandboxed guard that print_r, vardump, json_encode, yaml_encode and string carry, and its implementation calls toArray() — or falls back to an (array) cast — without consulting the sandbox method allowlist. Because the `grav` Twig global is the raw Pimple-based dependency injection container, a user who can author Twig in page content can evaluate `grav|array` to read the container's private $values array, including the un-redacted Config service; a second array cast returns the entire configuration tree, disclosing plugin credentials, SMTP and OAuth secrets, Redis passwords, proxy URLs and the security.* subtree that the sandbox's redaction is meant to hide. Because the payload is stored in page content, the disclosed configuration is rendered to anonymous visitors. Grav 1.7 is not affected as it has no Twig content sandbox. Fixed in Grav 2.0.25.

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.

Grav CMS 2.0.14 through 2.0.24 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability in the group and account blueprints. The access map is gated by a `security@: admin.super` guard that is resolved by the field's exact path, so a submitted flat dot-notation key such as `access.admin.super` (instead of the nested `access[admin][super]`) matches no blueprint rule, survives BlueprintSchema::filterArray() and flattening, and is written by FlexObject::update() via setNestedProperty(), which splits on `.` and reconstructs the nested value. An authenticated backend operator using the flex accounts backend who holds admin.users but not admin.super can therefore grant admin.super to their own account or to a group they belong to and escalate to full super-admin, gaining control over configuration, plugin and theme installation, the file manager, and all accounts. Fixed in 2.0.25, which drops any dotted key whose ancestor path is disabled or marked validate.ignore.

The Comments plugin (getgrav/grav-plugin-comments) for Grav CMS through version 1.2.10 registers an admin handler that returns comment data as JSON without any authentication check. The handler branches on isAdmin(), which only indicates that the admin service is registered on the current route rather than that the visitor is authenticated, and it echoes the JSON and calls exit() during the plugins stage, before the classic Admin plugin would render its login screen. On a site using the classic Admin plugin with Comments enabled (the default), an unauthenticated remote attacker can request /admin/comments/page:<n> (e.g. page:0.001) and retrieve every comment from the last 7 days, including each commenter's email address and the absolute server filesystem path of the data file. Sites running the Grav 2.0 Admin Next stack (admin2 + api) are not affected via this path. The issue is fixed in 1.2.11, which requires an authenticated user with admin.comments or admin.super and removes the absolute filePath from the response.

Grav is a flat-file CMS. In versions 2.0.19 through 2.0.24 — and in 2.0.0 through 2.0.18 and 1.7.x only where content Twig has been explicitly enabled — page content authored by a user holding only page-write permission is rendered through a Twig sandbox that allowlists get_cookie(), which returns any cookie sent with the current request, including the visitor's session cookie. Because the read occurs server-side via filter_input(INPUT_COOKIE, ...), the HttpOnly, Secure and SameSite attributes offer no protection. Grav then stores the finished post-Twig output in a page-content cache keyed only on page identity and the configuration checksum, with no session, user or request dimension and no bypass for authenticated visitors. A page published by a page-write user can therefore capture the session identifier of the next administrator who views it, after which the cached output serves that identifier to unauthenticated visitors, who can replay the cookie to authenticate as that administrator. Since 2.0.19, security.twig_content.process_enabled defaults to true and Security::applyTwigContentDefault() derives each page's process.twig flag from that gate, so content Twig runs on every page with no frontmatter or operator action. Fixed in 2.0.25; 1.7.x is outside the backport scope.

grav-plugin-login (the Grav CMS Login plugin) versions >= 3.8.7 and < 3.9.7 allow the two-factor authentication challenge to be bypassed for content gated by the authenticated() Twig function or the [authenticated] shortcode. On sites with 2FA enabled, Login::isAuthenticated() checked only the session flag indicating that the password step had succeeded, not the flag indicating that login had completed, so a session sitting at the 2FA code prompt was treated as fully authenticated. An attacker who knows a member's password but cannot answer that member's second factor can therefore read member-only content rendered by the no-argument authenticated() or group authenticated(null, 'group') forms and by [authenticated]; the inverse [guest] shortcode is likewise evaluated too early. Impact is limited to disclosure of that content: the attacker does not obtain a completed session, cannot access pages protected by an access: rule, and cannot act as the user. The authenticated('some.permission') form, which goes through UserObject::authorize(), is not affected. Fixed in grav-plugin-login 3.9.7.

Grav versions before 1.10.55 contain a path traversal vulnerability in the admin plugin's Save As action that fails to validate the language code parameter. An authenticated admin user with admin.pages.create permission can supply directory traversal sequences in the lang POST field to write arbitrary .md files outside the pages directory with attacker-controlled content.

The getgrav/grav-plugin-login Composer plugin before 3.9.1 (used by Grav) compares password reset and account activation tokens using a non-constant-time === string comparison instead of hash_equals() in classes/Controller.php (taskReset()) and login.php (activation handler). Because the token-submission endpoint (taskReset) also lacks rate limiting, an attacker could in principle send repeated token guesses against a known username and use the timing differences to attempt to recover a valid token, though the vendor rates the practical exploitability as low and no end-to-end network exploit has been demonstrated.

Grav CMS before 2.0.16 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the media_directory() Twig function that fails to validate filesystem paths, allowing authenticated users to enumerate and access files outside intended scope. Attackers with page authoring privileges can supply arbitrary filesystem paths to media_directory() and use the allow-listed filepath accessor on Medium objects to read file contents of any file matching configured media extensions that the web server process can access.
