CVE-2026-75828: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in getgrav grav
Grav before 2.0.15 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the detectXss() function where unpaired quotes in unquoted attribute values bypass event-handler detection. Authenticated editors can inject event handlers like onerror= that pass validation and execute in visitor browsers when page content is rendered.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-75828 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Grav CMS prior to version 2.0.15. The flaw exists in the detectXss() function, which fails to properly neutralize input containing unpaired quotes in unquoted attribute values. This allows authenticated editors to inject malicious event handlers (e.g., onerror=) that pass validation and execute in the browsers of visitors viewing the affected pages. The vulnerability requires authentication with editor privileges and results in high-impact client-side script execution.
Potential Impact
An attacker with authenticated editor access can inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of site visitors, potentially leading to session hijacking, defacement, or other client-side attacks. The vulnerability has a high CVSS score of 9.3, indicating critical severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the client environment.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict editor privileges to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious content injections. Avoid exposing editor accounts to untrusted parties.
