Vulnerability in Grav (CVE-2026-62232)
Summary
Vulnerability in Grav (CVE-2026-62232). Confidential information can be exposed externally.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Summary
When 2FA is enabled on an account, submitting correct credentials authenticates the user but leaves them unauthorized pending TOTP verification. During this pending-challenge window, the login.regenerate2FASecret task which requires only $user->exists(), not $user->authorized can be called without a CSRF nonce. It overwrites the victim's twofa_secret on disk with an attacker-chosen value, returns the new secret in the JSON response, and the attacker computes a valid TOTP code to complete the 2FA flow. The second factor is reduced to password-only. The exploit was confirmed live after enabling 2FA to a user.
Details
Four code locations in login plugin v3.8.10 enable the chain:
1. Session user set even with 2FA pending
user/plugins/login/login.php - userLogin() assigns $session->user = $user before TOTP verification completes. This makes $this->grav['user'] point to the victim in the pending-challenge window.
2. taskRegenerate2FASecret - no authorization check
user/plugins/login/classes/Controller.php
public function taskRegenerate2FASecret()
{
$user = $this->grav['user'];
if ($user->exists()) { // ← only checks exists(), NOT authorized()
$secret = $twoFa->createSecret();
$user->twofa_secret = $secret; // overwrites victim's secret on disk
$user->save();
$json_response = [
'status' => 'success',
'image' => $image,
'sec…
