Grav is vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Reflected endpoint /admin/pages/[page], parameter data[header][content][items], located in the "Blog Config" tab

  • Disclosed: 02.12.2025

Summary

A Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability was identified in the /admin/pages/[page] endpoint of the Grav application. This vulnerability allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into the data[header][content][items] parameter.


Details

Vulnerable Endpoint: GET /admin/pages/[page]
Parameter: data[header][content][items]

The application fails to properly validate and sanitize user input in the data[header][content][items] parameter. As a result, attackers can craft a malicious URL with an XSS payload. When this URL is accessed, the injected script is reflected back in the HTTP response and executed within the context of the victim's browser session.


PoC

Payload:

"><ImG sRc=x OnErRoR=alert('XSS-PoC3')>

  1. Log in to the Grav Admin Panel and navigate to Pages.

  2. Create a new page or edit an existing one.

  3. In the Advanced > Blog Config > Items field (which maps to data[header][content][items]), insert the payload above.

  1. Save the page.

  2. The malicious payload is reflected and rendered by the application without proper sanitization. The JavaScript code is immediately executed in the browser.

  • Website defacement or misinformation: Malicious output may be injected visually

  • User redirection: Victims may be redirected to phishing or malicious websites
