Grav CMS before 2.0.16 Timing Attack via verifyNonce

Published Aug 25, 2026 · Updated Oct 8, 2026 · Assigned by VulnCheck

Description

Grav CMS before 2.0.16 contains a timing vulnerability in Utils::verifyNonce() that uses non-constant-time string comparison with the === operator instead of hash_equals() for CSRF nonce validation. Attackers can measure response timing differences to recover valid nonce values byte-by-byte through multiple requests, weakening CSRF protection below its intended security margin.
