Machine-written summary

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

Grav (Packagist getgrav/grav) versions before 1.7.53 are affected. The admin backup feature creates a ZIP of the full Grav installation, including the admin account file with password hash and the configuration directory, and the download endpoint relies only on the session-static admin nonce with no form-level token. An attacker who obtains an admin nonce, for example through Referrer leakage, browser history, or XSS, could download the archive and attempt to crack the password hash offline. The fix is to upgrade to version 1.7.53.
