The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the attacker to already hold a publisher-level account with permission to author/publish pages, and to create a page at the plugin's password-reset route so that Login::getPage() renders attacker-controlled content on that route. It additionally requires a more-privileged victim to independently initiate a password reset and open the emailed reset link, at which point the rendered page exposes that victim's username and bearer reset token. Limiting factors: the PR:L authentication requirement (no anonymous exploitation), the dependence on victim interaction (UI:P - clicking the emailed link), and applicability only to Grav Login plugin versions from 1.2.0 up to but not including 3.9.9.

Impact

This is a credible, moderate-to-high priority issue for organizations running the affected Grav Login plugin, but not an emergency. The supplied CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:P/VC:H/VI:H) correctly reflects a network-reachable flaw of low complexity that requires an authenticated low-privileged attacker (PR:L - a 'publisher' account) and passive victim interaction (UI:P - the victim must open an emailed reset link). The high confidentiality and integrity impact is justified because leaking a valid reset token enables takeover of more privileged accounts, i.e. privilege escalation. However, the real-world exploitation signals are weak: no EPSS score was provided, the CVE is NOT in CISA KEV, and no public exploit code is referenced, so exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' Exploitation is also gated by two non-trivial preconditions - the attacker already needs a publisher account on the target, and a more-privileged victim must independently trigger a password reset and click the link. Net assessment: a genuine privilege-escalation/account-takeover bug worth patching promptly where the plugin is deployed, but the authentication requirement and dependence on victim behavior make widespread opportunistic exploitation unlikely; treat as targeted rather than mass-exploitable. No key signals are internally conflicting, but EPSS and POC data are simply absent rather than contradictory.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who holds a publisher-level account on a Grav site authors a malicious page at the plugin's password-reset route. When a higher-privileged user (e.g. an administrator) later requests a password reset and clicks the emailed link, Login::getPage() renders the attacker-controlled page, which captures and exposes the victim's username and bearer reset token - allowing the attacker to complete the reset and seize the privileged account. No public proof-of-concept is referenced; exploitation requires the attacker's existing publisher access plus victim interaction (clicking the reset link).

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 12, 2026

Password-reset token disclosure in the Grav Login plugin (versions 1.2.0 up to but not including 3.9.9) allows any user holding a publisher-level account to hijack more privileged accounts. A publisher authors a page at the plugin's password-reset route so that Login::getPage() renders attacker-controlled content on that route; when a higher-privileged victim opens an emailed reset link, the rendered page exposes the victim's username and bearer reset token, which the attacker can redeem to take over the account. Exploitation requires an existing publisher account plus victim interaction (clicking the emailed reset link), and no public exploit code or CISA KEV entry has been identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Upgrade the Grav Login plugin to 3.9.9 or later, which is the first release outside the affected range (1.2.0 through 3.9.8); the fix is documented in the vendor advisory at https://github.com/getgrav/grav/security/advisories/GHSA-277m-9x28-gjq2. If immediate upgrading is not possible, the most effective compensating control is to remove or tightly restrict publisher-level page-authoring rights, since the attack cannot proceed without the ability to create a page on the reset route; the trade-off is reduced editorial capacity for legitimate content authors. Administrators should also audit accounts that currently hold page-creation privileges, monitor for unusual pages mapped to the password-reset route, and consider invalidating outstanding password-reset links (for example by forcing a fresh reset cycle after patching) so that any tokens already exposed cannot be redeemed. Given the PR:L authentication requirement, the UI:P/UI:R dependence on a victim clicking the emailed link, and the absence of KEV-listed or publicly identified exploit code at time of analysis, this is a credible moderate-to-high priority issue rather than an emergency, but it should be remediated promptly because successful exploitation results in full takeover of higher-privileged accounts.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Grav is a PHP-based flat-file CMS that renders pages through Twig templates, and the Grav Login plugin (package getgrav/grav-plugin-login, tracked by CPE cpe:2.3:a:getgrav:grav-plugin-login) implements authentication, user management, and the password-reset workflow. The defect is an information exposure (CWE-200) rooted in how Login::getPage() resolves and renders content for the plugin's password-reset route: because a user with page-authoring rights can create a page that occupies that route, the plugin's own handler renders attacker-supplied content instead of, or alongside, the legitimate reset view. When a victim clicks the emailed reset link, the reset URL carries the username and bearer token, and the attacker-controlled page rendered on that route can read and exfiltrate them. The affected range is every release from 1.2.0 up to but not including 3.9.9. The supplied CVSS:4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:P/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N) and the independent CVSS:3.1 assessment (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N) agree on the key characteristics: network-reachable, no special attack complexity, authenticated with low privileges required (PR:L), and dependent on victim interaction. Confidentiality and integrity are both rated high because possession of the reset bearer token yields full account takeover, while availability is not impacted.

DescriptionCVE.org

Grav Login plugin 1.2.0 before 3.9.9 contains an information disclosure vulnerability that allows publishers to obtain password-reset tokens by authoring a page at the reset route. When a victim opens an emailed reset link, the publisher-controlled page rendered by Login::getPage() exposes the username and bearer token, enabling takeover of more privileged accounts.

Technical POC Analysis

CWE-200, exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor, implemented as a route-resolution/rendering precedence bug in the Grav Login plugin (composer getgrav/grav-plugin-login).

Full technical POC analysis - root cause, step-by-step exploitation and patch breakdown - is part of the Pro and Business plans.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

The Grav Login plugin (versions 1.2.0 to before 3.9.9) contains a password-reset token disclosure vulnerability that enables attackers with a publisher-level account to hijack higher-privileged user accounts. This threatens organizations using Grav CMS, as compromised privileged accounts can lead to unauthorized data access, configuration changes, or further lateral movement. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the lack of a vendor patch heightens the urgency for interim mitigations.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor patch is available; interim mitigations include restricting publisher-level accounts to a minimum, enforcing multi-factor authentication for all privileged users, monitoring password-reset token activity for anomalies, and temporarily disabling the password-reset route if feasible.
