CVE-2026-72826 is a privilege-escalation vulnerability in getgrav/grav-plugin-api before version 1.0.13. The flaw is caused by improper validation in createApiKey, which does not verify that the scopes assigned to a newly created API key are a subset of the caller’s effective scopes. In the self-target path, requireApiKeyPermission() enforces only the baseline api.access permission, while the requested scopes for the new key are taken directly from the request body without a subset check. As a result, an attacker using a minimally scoped API key associated with a super account can submit an empty scopes array and obtain an unscoped, full-access API key for that super account. This bypasses intended API scope restrictions and can serve as a stepping stone to broader administrative compromise, including follow-on paths to remote code execution through other privileged functionality.
