CVE-2026-65007 Details
Description
The Grav api plugin (grav-plugin-api) before 1.0.8 fails to properly authorize API key generation and revocation: the plugin intercepts the apiKeyGenerate/apiKeyRevoke admin tasks before the account-management ACL runs and authorizes the caller on only the admin.login permission (the baseline permission held by every panel user). This allows any user with admin.login to mint a persistent API key bound to any account, and the forged key inherits the target account's API permissions. On installs where an API-enabled account holds broader permissions, this enables account impersonation and privilege escalation up to account takeover.
A vulnerability exists in the Grav API plugin (grav-plugin-api) versions prior to 1.0.8, where the plugin fails to properly authorize the generation and revocation of API keys. The issue arises because the plugin intercepts these admin tasks before the account-management access control list (ACL) is applied. It only authorizes users based on the 'admin.login' permission, which is granted to all panel users. As a result, any user with 'admin.login' can create a persistent API key for any account, inheriting that account's API permissions. In cases where the API-enabled account has broader permissions, this vulnerability could lead to account impersonation and privilege escalation, potentially allowing for complete account takeover.
Users are advised to update the Grav API plugin to version 1.0.8 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
