Invitation-link poisoning via unvalidated Host header
Published Aug 25, 2026 · Updated Aug 26, 2026
Host header injection in the Grav Login Plugin before 3.9.2 allows remote authenticated users to poison token-bearing invitation links. In classes/Email.php, sendInvitationEmail() passes a relative token-bearing route to Utils::url(), which resolves it against the request-derived rootUrl() without the trusted-host guards used by other sensitive email flows. The sender must be authenticated and the site must lack a Site Host or Custom Base URL; following the poisoned link exposes its invitation token to an attacker-controlled domain.
