What is CVE-2026-72820?

Grav software versions prior to 2.0.13 are susceptible to a path traversal vulnerability that occurs due to improper validation of backup profile root paths. This flaw allows an attacker with profile editor access to configure malicious backup profiles, potentially archiving directories beyond the GRAV_ROOT, including sensitive directories such as /opt, /mnt, or /srv. This exposure risks revealing confidential files stored in these locations, posing a significant security threat to systems utilizing Grav.
