CVE-2026-62231

HIGH 8.6 PoC AVAILABLE ALL-YEARS

Published 2026-07-17 · Last modified 2026-07-21 · VulnCheck · NVD: Deferred

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.
