Description
Grav from 1.7.53.3 before 1.7.53.6 contains an authorization bypass in Debugger::isDebuggerRequestAuthorized() that allows unauthenticated visitors to read /__clockwork/ profiler data via a loopback REMOTE_ADDR fallback. Behind a same-host reverse proxy, remote requests appear as loopback, letting attackers read stored records including administrator plaintext passwords and configuration credentials.

Impact

Grav CMS versions starting at 1.7.53.3 and up to but excluding 1.7.53.6 contain a flaw in Debugger::isDebuggerRequestAuthorized. The check incorrectly permits requests that use the loopback address via a REMOTE_ADDR fallback, allowing an unauthenticated visitor to access the /__clockwork/ profiler endpoint. The profiler data can include administrators' plaintext passwords, configuration credentials, and other sensitive information, enabling an attacker to exfiltrate private data without authorization.

Affected Systems

Affected products are Grav, the open‑source content‑management system from getgrav. The vulnerability exists in Grav releases 1.7.53.3, 1.7.53.4, and 1.7.53.5. The listed CPE applies to all supported platforms for these releases.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score is 8.7, indicating a high‑severity vulnerability. The EPSS score is not available, and the flaw is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. The vulnerability can be exploited from an HTTP request targeting the /__clockwork/ path. The attack is more likely to succeed when the site operates behind a reverse proxy that maps external traffic to a loopback address, allowing an attacker to satisfy the loopback REMOTE_ADDR condition and read the stored profiling data. An attacker who can send arbitrary requests to the web application can therefore read sensitive configuration and password data without needing any authentication.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest Grav update (version 1.7.53.6 or later) that fixes the authorization bypass.
  • Disable the Clockwork profiler plugin if it is not required, removing the vulnerable /__clockwork/ endpoint from the attack surface.
  • If neither update nor disabling is possible, configure the web server or reverse proxy to deny external requests to /__clockwork/ or require authentication before access.
