CVE-2026-62233Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Super-admin takeover via missing target authorization

Published Jul 17, 2026 · Updated Jul 17, 2026

Privilege escalation in Grav API Plugin before 1.0.6 allows remote authenticated users with api.users.write to gain super-admin access. UsersController createApiKey, generate2fa, and disable2fa omit accessGrantsSuper checks before acting on a named target, and minted API-key scopes are not enforced. A delegated non-super user manager can bind a key to an api.super account for persistent instance takeover or remove that account's 2FA.
