AI-suggested

A fix is available in API version 1.0.0-beta.17. Users of Grav 2.0.0-beta.2 should upgrade to this or a later patched version to remediate the vulnerability. Since this is not a cloud service, remediation depends on applying the vendor's fixed API version. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor advisory stating the issue is fixed in API 1.0.0-beta.17.

Description

Grav is a file-based Web platform. In Grav 2.0.0-beta.2, a low-privileged authenticated API user with api.media.write can abuse /api/v1/blueprint-upload to write an arbitrary YAML file into user/accounts/, then log in as the newly created account with api.super privileges. This results in full administrative compromise of the Grav API. This vulnerability is fixed in API 1.0.0-beta.17.
