Grav: Stored XSS via Markdown media attribute() action in Grav CMS

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 30.04.2026 Published: 11.05.2026 Updated: 11.05.2026

Grav is a file-based Web platform. Prior to 2.0.0-beta.2, an authenticated user with page editing permissions can inject an executable JavaScript event-handler attribute into rendered image HTML through Grav's Markdown media action syntax. The issue is caused by Markdown image query parameters being converted into callable media actions. The public attribute() media method can be reached this way, allowing an editor to set an arbitrary HTML attribute name and value on the generated image element. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.0.0-beta.2.
