CVE-2026-109324: Grav memory exhaustion in image transforms

CVE-2026-109324 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.5 · Published 2026-10-12

Grav is a flat-file content management system used to build websites. An authenticated author can upload oversized compressed images that exhaust server memory when referenced in page transforms, causing the website to become unavailable. Anonymous visitors can repeatedly trigger this by accessing the affected page, amplifying the damage from a single malicious upload.

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in Grav's image transform handling for Twig and Markdown, where GD or Imagick decoders process the full source raster dimensions before resizing, without checking against the max_pixels limit. An authenticated media author uploads a highly compressed image; when any user references a transform that requires decoding, the uncompressed source exhausts memory. The issue affects Grav 2.x through 2.1.6; patched in 2.1.7 by validating source dimensions before adapter initialization.
