Requires a separately leaked valid token (AC:H) and a browser loading attacker script (UI:R); wildcard CORS yields high-confidentiality read and limited write (I:L), no availability impact.
Primary rating from Vendor (VulnCheck).

3DescriptionCVE.org
The Grav API plugin (getgrav/grav-plugin-api) before 1.0.0-rc.16 shipped Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * as its default CORS configuration on all responses, including authenticated endpoints and preflight (OPTIONS) responses. Because the plugin accepts credentials via the Authorization and X-API-Token headers (set programmatically by JavaScript rather than via cookies), an attacker who obtains a valid access token (e.g., via log leakage, Referer headers, browser history, or network capture) can issue fully authenticated cross-origin requests from any malicious website to read sensitive data and perform write operations as the token's user. Fixed in 1.0.0-rc.16.
AnalysisAI
Cross-origin data exposure in the Grav API plugin (getgrav/grav-plugin-api) before 1.0.0-rc.16 stems from a hardcoded 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *' header returned on every response, including authenticated endpoints and preflight (OPTIONS) responses. Because the plugin authenticates via the Authorization and X-API-Token request headers rather than cookies, any malicious website scripting a leaked access token can read the response bodies of authenticated endpoints and perform write actions as that token's user. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to already possess a valid API access token for the target Grav instance - obtained out-of-band via log leakage, Referer headers, browser history, or network capture - and requires the Grav API plugin to be installed at a version before 1.0.0-rc.16 with its default 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *' CORS configuration intact. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 base score of 7.1 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P/VC:H/VI:L/VA:N) reflects high confidentiality impact with lower integrity impact and no availability impact, consistent with an information-disclosure and limited-write CORS flaw rather than direct code execution. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker recovers a valid API access token from a leaked log file, a Referer header, or captured traffic, then hosts a malicious web page whose JavaScript issues fetch() calls to the target Grav API with that token in the Authorization or X-API-Token header. Because every response carries 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *', the attacker's browser-based script can read authenticated response bodies to exfiltrate sensitive content and issue write requests as the token's user. … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: upgrade the Grav API plugin to 1.0.0-rc.16 or later, which removes the default wildcard CORS policy; this is the primary and recommended fix, per advisory GHSA-93px-98wh-6fj2. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Identify all Grav installations running the API plugin before version 1.0.0-rc.16, immediately disable the API plugin if it is not actively required, and rotate all existing API tokens and keys. …
