Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

The BackupDelete functionality in Grav CMS through 1.7.0-rc.17 allows an authenticated attacker to delete arbitrary files on the underlying server by exploiting a path-traversal technique. (This vulnerability can also be exploited by an unauthenticated attacker due to a lack of CSRF protection.)

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2020-29555

Advisory: Grav CMS Arbitrary File Deletion
IDs: CVE-2020-29555, GHSA-gpmf-q5jh-hjx4
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2020-29555 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 14:24 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: High (CVSS 8.1)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Partial vendor fix; fixed versions by package: getgrav/grav 1.6.30. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Packagist getgrav/grav: affected >= 1.7.0-beta.1, <= 1.7.0-rc.17; < 1.6.30; fixed in 1.6.30

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Packagist getgrav/grav: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on getgrav/grav.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
