HIGH 8.2

Published 2026-08-18 · Last modified 2026-08-18

Grav before 2.0.15 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the static asset server within index.php that uses string prefix matching instead of directory-boundary validation. Unauthenticated attackers can access files in sibling directories by exploiting directory names that extend the base path string, such as requesting assets-secret when assets is the configured base.
