Authenticated code execution via Twig safe-filter mutation
Published Dec 1, 2025 · Updated Dec 2, 2025
Server-side template injection in GetGrav Grav before 1.8.0-beta.27 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code. The exposed Twig object lets crafted page directives write attacker-chosen PHP function names into system.twig.safe_filters, bypassing isDangerousFunction(). Editor permission and Twig processing on an editable page are required; rendering the saved page runs commands with the web server's privileges.
