CVE-2026-62237
MEDIUM 6 PoC AVAILABLEGrav before 2.0.4 contains a regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) vulnerability in the regex_replace filter and function, which are allowlisted in the Twig content sandbox. When Twig processing in page content is enabled (security.twig_content.process_enabled: true, disabled by default), an authenticated page editor can supply a catastrophically backtracking PCRE pattern that is passed directly to PHP's preg_replace(), causing unbounded CPU consumption and denial of service to the web server process.
Public exploit or PoC code exists. Modeled probability is still low, but the barrier to attack is reduced — watch closely.
