Technical details
Grav CMS versions prior to 2.0.0-beta.2 contain five distinct RCE vectors. Three critical vulnerabilities involve unsafe PHP unserialize() calls in the JobQueue, FileCache, and Session components, where lack of class restriction allows for PHP object injection and gadget chain execution. An additional critical flaw in the InstallCommand component allows for OS command injection because branch, URL, and path parameters are passed to shell commands without proper escaping during git clone operations (requires admin privileges). Finally, a high-severity bypass in the Twig security blocklist allows for server-side template injection (SSTI). These issues are addressed in version 2.0.0-beta.2 through the implementation of HMAC-signed serialized envelopes, proper shell argument escaping, and an updated Twig sandbox.
