Account takeover via unauthorized API key generation
Published Jul 21, 2026 · Updated Jul 21, 2026
Missing authorization in the Grav API plugin before 1.0.8 allows remote authenticated users to forge persistent API keys for any account. The apiKeyGenerate handler intercepts the admin task before account ACL enforcement, checks only baseline admin.login access, accepts the target from the URL, and creates a key that inherits that account's API permissions. Any panel user can reach the flaw; account takeover requires an API-enabled target account with broader permissions.
