CVE-2025-65186

Grav CMS before version 2.0.0-beta.2 contains multiple code-execution vulnerabilities. Three unsafe unserialize() calls in Scheduler\JobQueue, Framework\Cache\Adapter\FileCache, and Session deserialize untrusted data without class restrictions, enabling PHP object injection and, via a gadget chain, arbitrary code execution. Additionally, InstallCommand's git clone operation does not escape branch, url, and path parameters, allowing OS command injection during plugin/theme installation (requires admin access). A Twig security blocklist bypass (server-side template injection) is also present.

Grav is a flat-file content management system. In versions prior to 1.7.42, there was a server-side template injection vulnerability that allowed remote code execution by not blocking certain built-in functions exposed by Twig.

Grav is a flat-file content management system. Versions prior to 1.7.42 are vulnerable to server side template injection, allowing remote code execution by a user with page editing privileges.

A Directory Traversal vulnerability in Grav CMS 2.0.3 through 2.0.6 allows a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information via the GravExtension.php and the mediaDirFunc method.

Grav CMS 2.0.14 through 2.0.24 has a privilege escalation vulnerability in group and account blueprints. Dot-notation keys like `access.admin.super` bypass guards and let an operator with admin.users grant themselves full super-admin.

Grav CMS before 2.0.16 contains an origin validation bypass in the Uri::referrer() and Pages::referrerRoute() methods, which validate the Referer header using an unanchored string prefix match (str_starts_with) with no trailing delimiter. An attacker controlling a domain that begins with the victim site's origin (e.g., https://example.com.attacker.tld) can send a request with such a Referer to be treated as same-origin, bypassing the Referer-based origin check.

Grav CMS before version 2.0.16 has a timing vulnerability in Utils::verifyNonce() that uses non-constant-time comparison (===) instead of hash_equals() for CSRF nonce validation. Attackers can measure response timing differences to recover valid nonces byte-by-byte.

Grav CMS before 2.0.16 fails to filter system, site, and theme configuration arrays in sandboxed Twig renders, allowing content editors to read sensitive configuration values. Attackers with page-content edit access can access raw configuration arrays including secrets like cache credentials by using dot notation in Twig templates, bypassing the config_denied_paths restrictions.

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.

Grav CMS before 2.0.16 contains a symlink following vulnerability in Scheduler Job::createLockFile() that allows local attackers to overwrite arbitrary files by pre-creating symlinks at predictable lock file paths in the world-writable temp directory. Attackers can place a symlink at the predictable lock path pointing to any file the web server process can write to, and the next scheduled job run will follow the symlink and overwrite the target file's content with the job ID string.
