Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
The Grav content management system, in versions before 2.0.4, ships a default .htaccess whose rules blocking direct web access to sensitive file types (such as .yaml, .php and .json under user/ and system/vendor/) are case-sensitive. An unauthenticated remote attacker can request files with uppercase extensions on a case-insensitive filesystem, such as Windows or macOS, or Docker volumes mounted from them, and read files such as plugin configuration containing API keys. The fix is to upgrade to Grav 2.0.4, which adds case-insensitive matching to these rules.
