## Affected packages

- `getgrav/grav` (Packagist): affected `>=1.5.2, <2.0.13`; fixed in `2.0.13`

## Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

> Grav versions from 1.5.2 up to but not including 2.0.13 (Packagist getgrav/grav) contain a stored cross-site scripting flaw in the XSS detector used when saving pages. A user with page editing rights but without the admin.super permission can place an event handler inside a quoted attribute after a ">" character, which the detector misses, so the page is saved and the script runs in the site's origin for any visitor who opens it. The fix is to upgrade to version 2.0.13.

## Check whether this affects you

A Match means an installed version is in the affected range above. Most don’t affect the app; agentprime hasn’t analysed this one yet.

- With the agentprime MCP server (<https://api.agentprime.io/mcp>), ask your agent to check the project: `check_lockfile` sends a lockfile, `check_packages` a list of installed packages, and both return the Matches and the upgrades that clear them. `get_advisory` returns this record. Setup: <https://agentprime.io/mcp.md>
- In a browser: <https://agentprime.io/check/> reads your lockfile in the browser, never uploading it.
- Whether it touches your code, with file and line: the Claude Code plugin, <https://agentprime.io/plugin.md>
- As JSON: <https://api.agentprime.io/v1/advisories/GHSA-269c-h76q-8cxw>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
