Summary

Grav from 2.0.15 before 2.2.13 contains an allowlist bypass that lets page editors call arbitrary public static methods. Attackers with page-edit permission can embed crafted fields in Flex form overrides in page frontmatter to invoke methods such as Folder::delete or Utils::download. This is tracked as CWE-749, and exploiting it can delete directories, overwrite files, or read files outside the page tree.
