Trivial remote unauthenticated bypass (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) but impact is defeating bot protection enabling spam/abuse, so I:L/A:L and no confidentiality, not the input's H/H/H.

The Grav Form plugin (getgrav/grav-plugin-form) versions 8.0.6 through 9.1.19 select the reCAPTCHA version to validate based solely on which response field key is present in the submitted payload. On a site configured for reCAPTCHA v3, an anonymous attacker can place their v3 token under the v2 field name (g-recaptcha-response instead of token), causing validation to use the v2 branch, which never applies the score threshold or verifies the expected action. This results in a complete bypass of reCAPTCHA v3 bot protection. The issue is fixed in version 9.1.20.
AnalysisAI
reCAPTCHA v3 bot protection in the Grav Form plugin (getgrav/grav-plugin-form) 8.0.6 through 9.1.19 can be fully bypassed by an anonymous remote attacker who submits a token under the wrong field name. Because the plugin picks which reCAPTCHA validation branch to run based only on which response field key appears in the payload, sending a v3 token in the v2 field (g-recaptcha-response) forces the v2 code path, which never checks the risk score threshold or the expected action. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires the target Grav site to be configured for reCAPTCHA v3 specifically (the bypass forces the request into the v2 validation branch); sites using v2 are not affected by this technique. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The provided CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N, score 9.3) accurately reflects that exploitation is trivial, remote, and unauthenticated against a default v3-configured site - the attack is a single crafted form POST with no user interaction. … 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 | Vendor-released patch: upgrade the Grav Form plugin to version 9.1.20 or later, which fixes the version-selection logic; this is the primary and recommended action per GHSA-89j6-8h38-2cc3. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
