Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 15, 2026
Grav is a file-based Web platform. Prior to 1.8.0-beta.27, 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), which store 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. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.8.0-beta.27.

RemediationAI
A vendor patch is available — apply it immediately. Validate and sanitize file path inputs. Use a whitelist of allowed files or directories. Implement chroot jails or containerization.

Lifecycle Timeline
3Executive ViewAI
A high-severity vulnerability in Grav CMS allows users with basic page editing permissions to access sensitive files, including encrypted user credentials and password reset tokens. This could enable unauthorized account takeover for any registered user, including administrators, affecting organizations running unpatched Grav instances.
Apply vendor patch. If immediate patching is not possible: restrict page editing permissions to trusted administrators only; implement Web Application Firewall rules to block access to /grav/user/accounts/ directory; segment Grav instances from production systems; monitor for unusual file access patterns in application logs; disable Frontmatter form processing if not business-critical.
