CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

The Grav API plugin prior to version 1.0.13 is vulnerable due to an API key scope-cap bypass in the PagesController, allowing unauthorized execution of server-side template injection (SSTI) and remote code execution (RCE) through improperly scoped API keys. This flaw can be exploited when specific configurations are enabled, posing a critical risk to systems utilizing the plugin. Organizations using this plugin, especially those with super admin accounts, should prioritize immediate updates to mitigate potential exploitation.

Original NVD Description

The Grav API plugin (getgrav/grav-plugin-api) before 1.0.13 contains an API key scope-cap bypass in PagesController::guardTwigContent(). The Twig-toggle check uses a bare isSuperAdmin() gate that does not consult api_key_scopes, so a least-privilege API key scoped only to api.pages.write and minted on a super account can enable process.twig on a page save even though admin.pages_twig is intentionally outside the api.pages scope. When security.twig_content.process_enabled=true and editor_enabled=false, this allows Twig-in-content to execute server-side, resulting in server-side template injection (SSTI) and remote code execution.
