Unrated severityNVD Advisory· Published Apr 13, 2021· Updated Aug 3, 2024
Plugins can be installed with minimal admin privileges
CVE-2021-29439
Description
The Grav admin plugin prior to version 1.10.11 does not correctly verify caller's privileges. As a consequence, users with the permission admin.login can install third-party plugins and their dependencies. By installing the right plugin, an attacker can obtain an arbitrary code execution primitive and elevate their privileges on the instance. The vulnerability has been addressed in version 1.10.11. As a mitigation blocking access to the /admin path from untrusted sources will reduce the probability of exploitation.
