CVE-2026-109320: Grav API plugin session validation bypass in disabled accounts

CVE-2026-109320 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.4 · Published 2026-10-12

The Grav API plugin processes requests through session-based authentication but fails to check whether a user account has been disabled. An attacker with an existing valid session can continue making API requests even after an administrator disables their account, until the session naturally expires. This defeats the organization's ability to immediately revoke API access for terminated or compromised accounts.

Technical details

The SessionAuthenticator component accepts serialized session users without verifying account enabled/disabled state, whereas the API-key and JWT authenticators correctly enforce such checks. An attacker who previously authenticated and established a browser or remember-me session can reuse it to call API endpoints with their original permissions after account disablement. The vulnerability requires prior authentication and a valid session; a fix shipped in version 1.0.36 validates account state on each request.
