Description

Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-3446-6mgw-f79p. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original Description

Grav before 2.0.0-beta.2 contains an XML external entity injection vulnerability in SVG file upload processing that allows authenticated attackers to read arbitrary files. The application uses simplexml_load_string without disabling external entity loading, enabling attackers to inject XXE payloads via malicious SVG files to exfiltrate sensitive data.

How to fix

Move to the fixed version or later with your package manager, update the lockfile, and run your tests. If the package only arrives through another dependency, upgrade that dependency first. If none of its releases pulls a fixed version yet, force the version with your package manager's override.

Weakness

CWE-611: Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference

The product processes an XML document that can contain XML entities with URIs that resolve to documents outside of the intended sphere of control, causing the product to embed incorrect documents into its output.

How to prevent it
  • Implementation, System Configuration: Many XML parsers and validators can be configured to disable external entity expansion.
