DescriptionCVE.org

Grav CMS before 2.0.13 contains a remote code execution vulnerability in the Flex Objects plugin settings validation that allows authenticated users to execute arbitrary code by uploading a ZIP file containing PHP code. Attackers can bypass routine name validation by using array notation instead of string notation, call the unZip routine with a malicious archive, and write PHP files to the web root for execution.

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in Grav CMS before 2.0.13 allows authenticated low-privilege users to plant and execute arbitrary PHP files on the server by exploiting a validation bypass in the Flex Objects plugin. The attacker crafts a ZIP archive containing PHP code, circumvents routine-name validation by substituting array notation for the expected string notation, and triggers the unZip routine to write the payload directly into the web root where it becomes immediately executable via HTTP. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a valid authenticated user session with at least low-privilege access to the Grav admin interface, consistent with CVSS PR:L. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.7 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N) accurately represents the combination of network accessibility and full-system impact; the primary risk mitigator embedded in the vector is PR:L, meaning exploitation is gated behind a valid authenticated session. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with a low-privilege registered account - such as a site editor or contributor - logs into an exposed Grav admin panel running a vulnerable version with the Flex Objects plugin active. The attacker constructs a ZIP archive embedding a PHP webshell, then submits an upload request to the Flex Objects settings endpoint with the unZip routine name supplied in array notation to bypass string-based validation. …
Remediation Upgrade Grav CMS to version 2.0.13 or later; this is the vendor-confirmed fix as documented in the GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-r94f-hx44-8jqf at https://github.com/getgrav/grav/security/advisories/GHSA-r94f-hx44-8jqf. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
