Affected versions and vulnerable location
- Confirmed on grav core at
78ebfc1(tag 2.0.13). - Sinks:
system/src/Grav/Common/Data/Blueprint.php:455-458call_user_func_array($o, $params)(bare-function dynamic-data provider).- Twin:
system/src/Grav/Framework/Flex/FlexDirectory.php:936-938call_user_func_array($function, $params).
- Validation gate:
Blueprint::isSafeDynamicCall()atBlueprint.php:514-536.Class::methodbranch (:514-527) uses a strict positive allowlistself::$allowedDynamicCallables.- Bare-function branch (
:530-534) uses only a denylist:if (is_string($function) && Utils::isDangerousFunction($function)) return false; return !self::paramsContainDangerousCallable($params);.
- Denylist:
Utils::isDangerousFunction()(system/src/Grav/Common/Utils.php, list around:2020-2270).
Root cause
GHSA-7pgq/CVE-2026-64850 hardened the Class::method half of the dynamic-callable validation to a positive allowlist because a page-edit account could otherwise name any static method as a provider and reach file/secret gadgets. The bare-function half was left on a denylist (isDangerousFunction). Any bare PHP function not on that list executes.
error_log is not on the denylist (verified: no occurrence in Utils.php). error_log($message, 3, $destination) appends attacker-controlled $message to attacker-controlled file $destination, an arbitrary-file-append primitive. paramsContainDangerousCallable() (:587-603) only s…
