Description

This module exploits a Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI)
vulnerability (CVE-2025-66294) in Grav CMS that allows bypassing the
Twig sandbox to achieve remote code execution. The cleanDangerousTwig
method uses weak regex that fails to sanitize nested Twig calls within
the evaluate_twig function. To inject the payload, this module leverages
CVE-2025-66301, a broken access control flaw that allows users with page
editing privileges to modify the form's YAML frontmatter process section.
