Vulnerability in Grav API plugin (CVE-2026-62386)
Summary
Vulnerability in Grav API plugin (CVE-2026-62386). Confidential information can be exposed externally. Exploitable via Referer header.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
The Grav API plugin (getgrav/grav-plugin-api) before 1.0.0-rc.16 accepts JWT access tokens through the ?token= URL query parameter on every API route (JwtAuthenticator::extractBearerToken fallback). Because tokens are embedded in URLs, they are logged verbatim in web server access logs, leaked via the Referer header, stored in browser history, and captured by upstream proxy and CDN logs, exposing valid admin access tokens. A leaked token grants unauthorized API access, including reading configuration and user data, creating admin accounts, modifying system settings, and deleting pages.
