CVE-2026-86196 PUBLISHED

Grav API Plugin before 1.0.20 Authentication Bypass via Host Header

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 05.09.2026 Published: 05.09.2026 Updated: 05.09.2026

Grav API plugin versions before 1.0.20 build password reset links from the untrusted Host header in the forgot-password endpoint, allowing unauthenticated attackers to redirect reset tokens to attacker-controlled domains. Attackers can send password reset requests for any account with a malicious Host header, intercept the reset token from victim emails, and complete account takeover including super-admin accounts.
