Grav CMS Arbitrary File Deletion

  • Disclosed: 24.05.2022
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 10:22

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.)
