CVE-2026-57852 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2026-57852: 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.

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2026-57852

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2026-57852 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2026-57852

CVE-2026-57852 presents a challenge to exploit due to its high attack complexity, but the absence of privilege requirements still makes it a viable target for skilled attackers. A thorough security review is advised.

Understanding AC and PR

A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.

Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.

Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.

CVSS Score Breakdown Chart

Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2026-57852, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.

CIA Impact Analysis

Below is the Impact Analysis for CVE-2026-57852, showing how Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability might be affected if the vulnerability is exploited. Higher values usually signal greater potential damage.

  • Confidentiality: Low
    CVE-2026-57852 could lead to minor leaks of non-critical information without major privacy breaches.
  • Integrity: Low
    Exploiting CVE-2026-57852 may cause minor changes to data without severely impacting its accuracy.
  • Availability: Low
    CVE-2026-57852 may slightly degrade system performance without fully affecting service availability.

CWE Common Weakness Enumeration

CWE-303

CAPEC Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification

  • Reflection Attack in Authentication Protocol CAPEC-90 An adversary can abuse an authentication protocol susceptible to reflection attack in order to defeat it. Doing so allows the adversary illegitimate access to the target system, without possessing the requisite credentials. Reflection attacks are of great concern to authentication protocols that rely on a challenge-handshake or similar mechanism. An adversary can impersonate a legitimate user and can gain illegitimate access to the system by successfully mounting a reflection attack during authentication.
