Grav is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Read

Published December 2, 2025Updated September 10, 2026Source: osv

Summary

### Summary - A low privilege user account with page editing privilege can read any server files using "Frontmatter" form. - 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 hashed password. ### Details _The vulnerability can be found in /user/plugins/form/templates/forms/fields/display/display.html.twig_ ![image](https://github.com/getgrav/grav/assets/28057767/953dbdf1-310f-4c8e-866c-8470d70cc11d) ### PoC 1. This PoC was conducted on Grav CMS version 1.7.46 and Admin Plugin version 1.10.46 ![image](https://github.com/getgrav/grav/assets/28057767/6c8607d6-cea3-4699-8a5a-8a04d047676f) 2. go to “http://grav.local/admin/pages” then create new page with “Page Template” option set to “Form”. ![image](https://github.com/getgrav/grav/assets/28057767/451fe8bc-2e2e-4f8a-a548-385aca6d5504) 3.

This can also allow an adversary to read any file on the web server. And Due to insufficient permission verification , user who can write a page also can use frontmatter feature using this IDOR vulnerability [PoC IDOR](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EU1QA0idoWE&ab_channel=%EA%B9%80%EC%A2%85%EB%AF%BC) mention in [CVE-2024-2792](https://github.com/getgrav/grav/security/advisories/GHSA-f6g2-h7qv-3m5v)
