Improper Privilege Management

CVE-2024-34082

High
9.9/10

Summary

Grav is a file-based Web platform. A low privilege user account with page edit privilege can read any server files using Twig Syntax. This includes Grav user account files - `/grav/user/accounts/*.yaml`. This file stores a hashed user password, 2FA secret, and the password reset token. This can allow an adversary to compromise any registered account and read any file on the web server by resetting a password for a user to get access to the password reset token from the file or by cracking the hashed password. A low privileged user may also perform a full account takeover of other registered users, including Administrators. This vulnerability affects getgrav/grav package versions prior to 1.7.46.

CWE-269 - Improper Privilege Management

An effective privilege management infrastructure provides valid users with required access and privileges across heterogeneous technology environments. An application with a faulty privilege management infrastructure allows higher than authorized privileges or enables privilege escalation. This can lead to security incidents such as system infiltration, data breach, and complete system takeover.
