Grav CMS is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS) in the page editor

  • Disclosed: 02.12.2025
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 10:22

Grav CMS 1.7.49 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS). The page editor allows authenticated users to edit page content via a Markdown editor. The editor fails to properly sanitize <script> tags, allowing stored XSS payloads to execute when pages are viewed in the admin interface.
