id: CVE-2018-5233

info:
  name: Grav CMS <1.3.0 - Cross-Site Scripting
  author: pikpikcu
  severity: medium
  description: |
    Grav CMS before 1.3.0 is vulnerable to cross-site scripting via system/src/Grav/Common/Twig/Twig.php and allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the PATH_INFO to admin/tools.
  impact: |
    Attackers can execute arbitrary JavaScript in victims' browsers, potentially stealing session cookies, administrative credentials, or performing actions on behalf of authenticated users.
  remediation: |
    Upgrade Grav CMS to version 1.3.0 or later, which includes proper input sanitization to mitigate the XSS vulnerability.
