Non-default demo mode with writable resources is a condition outside attacker control, warranting AC:H; PR:L reflects required super-account API key; no confidentiality impact applies.

DescriptionCVE.org

The Grav API plugin (getgrav/grav-plugin-api) before 1.0.13 contains an API-key scope cap bypass in DemoController. Its private requireSuper() method checks isSuperAdmin() and returns early before invoking requirePermission(), so the api_key_scopes cap (enforced only in requirePermission()) is skipped. As a result, any scoped API key minted on a super account can bypass its scope restrictions when calling the baseline() and reset() operations (e.g. POST /api/v1/demo/reset), allowing it to capture the demo baseline or force a demo reset. Impact is bounded to demo-engine control and is conditional on demo mode being configured with writable resources.

AnalysisAI

Scope cap bypass in the Grav API plugin before 1.0.13 allows a holder of a scoped API key issued on a super admin account to call unauthorized DemoController operations. The private requireSuper() method exits early after confirming isSuperAdmin(), never reaching requirePermission() where api_key_scopes enforcement occurs, making the scope restriction on that key inert for the baseline() and reset() endpoints. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Two simultaneous non-default conditions must be satisfied. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The provided CVSS 4.0 score of 5.3 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N) reflects network-accessible exploitation with low-privilege authentication and limited impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade the Grav API plugin to version 1.0.13 or later, which corrects the authorization logic in requireSuper() so that requirePermission() is invoked before returning, restoring api_key_scopes enforcement for all callers. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
