CVE-2026-57852: CWE-303 Incorrect Implementation of Authentication Algorithm in Trilby Media Grav CMS scheduler-webhook plugin
The Grav CMS scheduler-webhook plugin has an authentication bypass vulnerability due to a short-circuit logic flaw in webhook token validation. This flaw allows unauthenticated remote attackers to trigger scheduled jobs configured in the plugin by sending a single POST request to the webhook endpoint. Exploitation can lead to unintended execution of operator-defined commands under the web server process user. The vulnerability is rated medium severity with a CVSS score of 5.6.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-57852 describes an authentication bypass vulnerability in the Trilby Media Grav CMS scheduler-webhook plugin. The issue stems from incorrect implementation of the authentication algorithm (CWE-303), specifically a short-circuit logic flaw in validating the webhook token. This flaw enables unauthenticated attackers to send a POST request to the scheduler webhook endpoint and cause execution of all or specific scheduled jobs. These jobs run with the privileges of the web server process user, potentially leading to unauthorized command execution. No patch or official remediation has been disclosed as of the published date.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows unauthenticated remote attackers to trigger scheduled jobs arbitrarily, resulting in unintended execution of commands with the web server's privileges. This can lead to limited confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts as indicated by the CVSS vector (Confidentiality: Low, Integrity: Low, Availability: Low).
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict access to the scheduler webhook endpoint where possible and monitor for suspicious POST requests targeting this endpoint. Avoid exposing the webhook endpoint publicly if feasible.
