AI-suggested
1. Upgrade all Grav installations to version 1.8.0-beta.27 or later immediately to apply the patch that fixes this vulnerability. 2. Restrict access to the Grav admin panel (/admin) using network-level controls such as IP whitelisting, VPNs, or firewall rules to limit exposure to trusted administrators only. 3. Implement strong authentication and authorization controls to prevent unauthorized administrative access, including multi-factor authentication (MFA). 4. Monitor web server and application logs for unusual requests targeting the 'Languages' submenu or malformed input patterns that could indicate exploitation attempts. 5. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability scans on Grav installations to detect outdated versions or misconfigurations. 6. Consider implementing Web Application Firewalls (WAF) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious regular expression patterns or malformed inputs targeting the affected parameter. 7. Educate administrators on secure configuration practices and the importance of timely patching.
Description
Grav is a file-based Web platform. Prior to 1.8.0-beta.27, a Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability was identified in the "Languages" submenu of the Grav admin configuration panel (/admin/config/system). Specifically, the Supported parameter fails to properly validate user input. If a malformed value is inserted—such as a single forward slash (/) or an XSS test string—it causes a fatal regular expression parsing error on the server. This leads to application-wide failure due to the use of the preg_match() function with an improperly constructed regular expression, resulting in an error. Once triggered, the site becomes completely unavailable to all users. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.8.0-beta.27.
