Cross-Site Scripting in Grav
What to do
Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (getgrav/grav 1.6.30), 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.
Impact Privileged users (with the ability to edit pages) have a mechanism to perform remote code execution via XSS. At a minimum, the vulnerability represents a bypass of security controls put in place to mitigate this form of attack. The remote code execution can be performed because XSS would allow an attacker to execute functionality on behalf of a stolen administrative account - the facility to install custom plugins would then allow said attacker to install a plugin containing a web shell and thus garner access to the underlying system.

# Patch Next advisory brief: GHSA-cvmr-6428-87w9 Advisory: Cross-Site Scripting in Grav IDs: GHSA-cvmr-6428-87w9 Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/ghsa-cvmr-6428-87w9 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 13:56 UTC) Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected. Severity: Unrated Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV. Vendor response: Vendor fix available; 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 < 1.6.30; fixed in 1.6.30 ## 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. ## Sources - Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-cvmr-6428-87w9 (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-cvmr-6428-87w9 lists affected ranges: Packagist getgrav/grav >=0 <1.6.30) Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
