Authenticated code execution via unsafe Flex callables
Published Jul 23, 2026 · Updated Jul 23, 2026
Remote code execution in Grav 1.7.0 through 2.0.8 allows remote authenticated users to run shell commands through Flex writes. FlexDirectory::dynamicDataField() passes attacker-influenced data-*@ callable names and arguments to call_user_func_array() after checking only is_callable(), so command functions remain permitted. Create or update permission on one active Flex directory is sufficient; commands execute with the web-server account's privileges.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
