CVE-2026-62231: Incorrect Authorization in getgrav grav
A vulnerability in the Grav API plugin (getgrav/grav-plugin-api) before version 1.0.6 allows an authorization bypass. API keys created with restricted scopes are not properly enforced, enabling these keys to perform any action the owning user can, including write, delete, or administrative operations. This issue is fixed in version 1.0.6.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Grav API plugin prior to version 1.0.6 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability (CVE-2026-62231) where the ApiKeyAuthenticator class does not enforce the scopes assigned to API keys. Although keys can be created with limited scopes, the authenticator loads and returns the full account object of the user, effectively granting the key full user privileges regardless of intended restrictions. This allows an attacker with a scoped API key to perform unauthorized actions. The vulnerability is fixed in version 1.0.6.
Potential Impact
API keys with restricted scopes can bypass these restrictions and gain full access to the owning user's permissions, including write, delete, and administrative operations. This elevates the risk of unauthorized modifications and potential compromise of the affected Grav instance.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade the Grav API plugin to version 1.0.6 or later, where this authorization bypass vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigations are specified.
