Last modified

CVE-2026-72820 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.9/10 on the CVSS scale. Grav versions before 2.0.13 fail to properly validate backup profile root paths, allowing attackers to archive directories outside GRAV_ROOT when not in the hard-coded deny-list. Attackers with profile editor access can configure backup profiles with traversal paths to expose sensitive files from locations like /opt, /mnt, or /srv.. EPSS estimates a 0.34% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
