Grav Vulnerable to Arbitrary File Read to Account Takeover

Quick fix

GHSA-f8v5-jmfh-pr69 — getgrav/grav: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

composer require getgrav/grav:^1.7.46

Details

### Summary 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 hashed user password, 2FA secret, and the password reset token. This can allow an adversary to compromise any registered account by resetting a password for a user to get access to the password reset token from the file or by cracking the hashed password.

### Proof Of Concept `{{ read_file('/var/www/html/grav/user/accounts/riri.yaml') }}`

Use the above Twig template syntax in a page and observe that the administrator riri's authentication details are exposed accessible by any unauthenticated user.

As an additional proof of concept for reading system files, observe the `/etc/passwd` file read using the following Twig syntax: `{{ read_file('/etc/passwd') }}`

### Impact This can allow a low privileged user to perform a full account takeover of other registered users including Adminsitrators. This can also allow an adversary to read any file in the web server.
