CVE-2026-62231: Incorrect Authorization in getgrav grav
The Grav API plugin (getgrav/grav-plugin-api) before 1.0.6 contains an authorization bypass: API keys can be created with a restricted scopes array, but the ApiKeyAuthenticator class never reads or enforces these scopes. It loads and returns the owning user's full account object, so a key created with limited scopes (e.g. read-only) can perform any write, delete, or administrative operation the owning user is authorized for. Fixed in 1.0.6.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Grav API plugin before version 1.0.6 contains an authorization bypass due to the ApiKeyAuthenticator class ignoring the scopes array assigned to API keys. Although API keys can be created with restricted scopes (e.g., read-only), the authenticator loads and returns the full account object of the owning user without enforcing these restrictions. Consequently, an API key intended to have limited permissions can perform any operation the user is authorized for, including privileged actions. This issue is resolved in version 1.0.6.
Potential Impact
An attacker with an API key that was intended to have limited permissions can bypass these restrictions and perform any action the owning user is authorized to do. This includes potentially destructive operations such as write, delete, or administrative tasks, leading to a high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade the Grav API plugin to version 1.0.6 or later, where this authorization bypass vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigation is indicated by the vendor advisory.
