Technical details

A vulnerability exists in Grav's Twig sandbox configuration where the 'Config::toArray()' method is explicitly permitted in the security allow-list. Users with 'admin.pages' privileges can create or edit a page, enable Twig processing in the frontmatter, and use a Twig payload to dump the entire merged site configuration into the rendered HTML. This configuration object contains sensitive plugin secrets, including SMTP passwords, AWS keys, and OAuth tokens. The issue is rooted in 'system/config/security.yaml' and affects versions up to 2.0.0-rc.1. A patch is available in version 2.0.0-rc.2.
