Grav: FlexDirectory::dynamicDataField() executes arbitrary callables from blueprint data with no validation

CVE-2026-65608GHSA-c4wf-2xxc-68qm

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (getgrav/grav 2.0.9), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Summary A missing validation check in Grav's Flex framework lets an account holding nothing but an ordinary object-create permission on a single Flex directory execute arbitrary shell commands on the server. Any authenticated user with create or update rights on a Flex-based directory (Flex Users, Flex Pages, Flex Objects, or any custom Flex type) can trigger it the moment a blueprint field anywhere in that directory carries a data-@: directive, since the code that resolves those directives calls calluserfuncarray() on attacker-influenced input with no restriction at all. This is a bypass of GHSA-fj2p-qj2f-74v5, already patched in 2.0.7. That fix added real validation to Blueprint::dynamicData(), but Grav's Flex system routes the same directive through a separate, unprotected method, FlexDirectory::dynamicDataField(), which never received the same fix. Details Grav blueprints support action-property@: directives, YAML keys that tell the blueprint engine to compute a field's value…

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-65608

Advisory: Grav: FlexDirectory::dynamicDataField() executes arbitrary callables from blueprint data with no validation
IDs: CVE-2026-65608, GHSA-c4wf-2xxc-68qm
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-65608 (revision 3, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 14:53 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: High (CVSS 8.7)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: getgrav/grav 2.0.9. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Packagist getgrav/grav: affected >= 1.7.0, < 2.0.9; fixed in 2.0.9

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

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## 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.
