## Affected packages

- `getgrav/grav` (Packagist): affected `<1.8.0-beta.27`; fixed in `1.8.0-beta.27`

## Machine-written summary

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

> Grav versions before 1.8.0-beta.27 are affected by a Server-Side Template Injection issue involving forms. An attacker who can submit a POST request to a site's form can use a crafted template expression in a form field to get the server to output the full Grav configuration, including plugin settings that may contain sensitive data. The fix is to upgrade Grav to 1.8.0-beta.27 or later.

## 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-8535-hvm8-2hmv>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
