CVE-2026-61454
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe Grav Admin2 plugin (getgrav/grav-plugin-admin2) before 2.0.4 embeds a global JavaScript variable window.__GRAV_CONFIG__ in the Admin2 SPA bootstrap page at /grav/admin (and its subroutes). This object is returned in every unauthenticated response and discloses the server URL, API prefix, admin base path, runtime environment type, and exact Grav and Admin2 version numbers, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to fingerprint the deployment and select version-specific exploits without reconnaissance.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe Grav Admin2 plugin before version 2.0.4 exposes a JavaScript configuration object (window.__GRAV_CONFIG__) in the unauthenticated bootstrap response at /grav/admin, disclosing server URL, API prefix, admin base path, runtime environment, and exact version numbers for both Grav CMS and the Admin2 plugin.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify the Admin2 plugin versionLocate the Admin2 plugin in your Grav installation (typically in /user/plugins/ or /plugins/ directory) and check the version specified in the plugin's manifest or version fileAffected if The installed version is lower than 2.0.4 (e.g., 2.0.3, 2.0.2, etc.)
-
Test unauthenticated access to admin endpointSend an HTTP GET request to /grav/admin (or /admin) without providing any authentication credentials and observe the responseAffected if The endpoint responds with HTTP 200 and returns a page intended for authenticated users, indicating the page is accessible without login
-
Inspect response for exposed configurationExamine the HTML/JavaScript response from the /grav/admin endpoint and search for the string 'window.__GRAV_CONFIG__' or '__GRAV_CONFIG__'Affected if The response contains a JavaScript object named __GRAV_CONFIG__ with properties such as base_url, api_prefix, admin_route, environment, and version numbers for Grav CMS and the Admin2 plugin
-
Review disclosed version informationParse the __GRAV_CONFIG__ object (if present) and extract the version values from the 'version' or similar fields within the configuration objectAffected if The exposed version numbers correspond to an Admin2 plugin version below 2.0.4
You are affected if the Admin2 plugin version is below 2.0.4 AND the /grav/admin endpoint is accessible without authentication and returns the __GRAV_CONFIG__ object containing sensitive version and configuration details.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade the Admin2 plugin to version 2.0.4 or later, or restrict unauthenticated access to the /grav/admin endpoint via web server authentication or firewall rules.
2.0.4
- Identify the Grav Admin2 plugin (getgrav/grav-plugin-admin2) in the installation
- Determine the currently installed version of the Admin2 plugin
- Upgrade the Admin2 plugin to version 2.0.4 or later
- Clear the Grav cache to ensure the updated configuration is loaded
- Verify that unauthenticated requests to /grav/admin (and subroutes) no longer expose the window.__GRAV_CONFIG__ variable with sensitive information
