Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionGitHub Advisory
Grav is a file-based Web platform. Prior to 1.8.0-beta.27, when a user with privilege of user creation creates a new user through the Admin UI and supplies a username containing path traversal sequences (for example ..\Nijat or ../Nijat), Grav writes the account YAML file to an unintended path outside user/accounts/. The written YAML can contain account fields such as email, fullname, twofa_secret, and hashed_password. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.8.0-beta.27.

Technical ContextAI
Path traversal allows an attacker to access files outside the intended directory by manipulating file paths with sequences like '../'.
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.
