Answer in brief
CVE-2026-72833 records a Unknown severity vulnerability in Grav 1.0.6 through 1.0.11 Privilege Escalation via Scoped API Keys. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. Affected software not mapped in the current feed; confirm the named product and version against your inventory.
Analysis pending evidence review
HOL Guard separates source facts from reviewed analysis. See the methodology.
A CVSS score is not reported in the current record. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. Treat this as a source-backed prioritization signal, not a statement about your environment.

The Grav API plugin (getgrav/grav-plugin-api) versions >= 1.0.6 and <= 1.0.11 contain a privilege escalation vulnerability. A scoped API key minted on a super-admin account bypasses its declared scope cap on four isSuperAdmin()-gated write endpoints (in GroupsController, AccountsConfigController, PreferencesController, and DashboardWidgetController). These endpoints authorize via a super-admin early-return that never invokes requirePermission()—the sole enforcement point of the scope cap—so a 'read-only'-scoped key (e.g. api.pages.read) can perform super-only write operations, including rewriting group ACL maps to grant super-admin privileges to arbitrary accounts. A leaked or delegated read-only CI/monitoring key can therefore gain full super-admin write capability. Fixed in 1.0.13.
