CVE-2026-114659: Grav Flex Objects plugin authorization bypass in pages API

CVE-2026-114659 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.5 · Published 2026-10-22

Grav's Flex Objects plugin, which manages content pages in a CMS environment, contains an authorization flaw in its API routes. Authenticated users with basic API access and page administration permissions can bypass page-level restrictions to read, modify, or delete pages they should not have access to. This allows unauthorized content exposure and manipulation.

Technical details

The Flex Objects plugin's generic /api/v1/flex-objects/pages API routes check only directory-level admin.pages permissions without enforcing the Pages API's api.pages.read/write permissions or page-level permission rules. Authenticated non-super users with api.access and admin.pages or admin.configuration.pages permissions can exploit this to bypass page-level authorization checks via an alternate API path, circumventing restrictions that the primary Pages API correctly enforces.
