What is CVE-2026-65007?
CVE-2026-65007 is a high-severity missing authorization vulnerability in getgrav grav, published on 21 Jul 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official 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.
Weakness: CWE-862
