CVE-2026-62670: CWE-862: Missing Authorization in getgrav grav-plugin-flex-objects
Grav Flex Objects Plugin allows you to build custom collections of objects. Prior to 1.4.3, the Grav Flex Objects Admin Next API requireFlexPermission() method in classes/Api/FlexApiController.php returns without denying access when a directory blueprint omits config.admin.permissions. An authenticated account with only api.access can use the index, show, create, update, delete, export, and media handlers for a permission-less directory even though the core admin.flex-object. authorization fallback would deny the same actions. This issue is fixed in version 1.4.3.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Grav Flex Objects Plugin before version 1.4.3 contains a missing authorization check in the requireFlexPermission() method of FlexApiController.php. When a directory blueprint omits the config.admin.permissions setting, the method does not deny access as expected. Consequently, an authenticated user with only api.access permission can invoke handlers such as index, show, create, update, delete, export, and media on permission-less directories. This behavior bypasses the intended core admin.flex-object authorization fallback, which would normally deny these actions. The vulnerability is fixed in version 1.4.3.
Potential Impact
An authenticated user with limited API access can perform unauthorized actions including viewing, creating, updating, deleting, exporting, and managing media on directories without explicit permissions. This can lead to unauthorized data access and modification within the affected plugin.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade to Grav Flex Objects Plugin version 1.4.3 or later, where this authorization issue is fixed. No other mitigation is indicated by the vendor advisory.
