CVE-2026-62670 getgrav CVE debrief

Who should care

Defenders responsible for Grav installations with the Flex Objects Plugin should assess exposure and apply the patch. They should review user permissions, monitor for potential exploitation attempts, and verify patch application to prevent unauthorized directory actions. Security teams and administrators should prioritize verifying exposure and applying the patch, especially for systems with the Grav Flex Objects Plugin installed.

Why it matters

CVE-2026-62670 is a medium-severity vulnerability in the Grav Flex Objects Plugin that allows authenticated users to perform unauthorized actions on directories. Defenders should prioritize verifying exposure and applying the patch.

• Verify patch application to prevent unauthorized directory actions
• Review and restrict user permissions for the plugin
• Monitor for potential exploitation attempts

Technical summary

The Grav Flex Objects Admin Next API requireFlexPermission() method in classes/Api/FlexApiController.php returns without denying access when a directory blueprint omits config.admin.permissions. An authenticated account with only api.access can use the index, show, create, update, delete, export, and media handlers for a permission-less directory. This issue allows unauthorized actions on directories, which can be exploited by users with limited permissions. The vulnerability is fixed in version 1.4.3, which addresses the flaw in the requireFlexPermission() method.

Defenders should prioritize verifying exposure and applying the patch, especially for systems with the Grav Flex Objects Plugin installed.

• Verify the Grav Flex Objects Plugin version and apply the patch to 1.4.3 if necessary
• Review user permissions and access controls for the plugin

• Review the supplied official advisory or CVE record to validate affected scope, severity, and vendor guidance
• Plan vendor-supported updates or mitigations through normal change control where exposure is confirmed
• Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review
