Summary
Grav CMS scheduler-webhook plugin contains an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to trigger configured scheduled jobs by exploiting a short-circuit logic flaw in the webhook token validation. Attackers can send a single unauthenticated POST request to the scheduler webhook endpoint to execute all configured scheduled jobs or target a specific job, causing unintended execution of operator-defined commands under the web server process user.
