CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe Grav API plugin prior to version 1.0.8 is vulnerable due to improper authorization in the API key generation and revocation processes, allowing any user with admin.login access to create persistent API keys for any account. This flaw can lead to account impersonation and privilege escalation, potentially resulting in full account takeover. Organizations using this plugin should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of unauthorized access and data breaches.

Original NVD Description
The Grav api plugin (grav-plugin-api) before 1.0.8 fails to properly authorize API key generation and revocation: the plugin intercepts the apiKeyGenerate/apiKeyRevoke admin tasks before the account-management ACL runs and authorizes the caller on only the admin.login permission (the baseline permission held by every panel user). This allows any user with admin.login to mint a persistent API key bound to any account, and the forged key inherits the target account's API permissions. On installs where an API-enabled account holds broader permissions, this enables account impersonation and privilege escalation up to account takeover.
