Summary
Grav API plugin versions before 1.0.20 build password reset links from the untrusted Host header in the forgot-password endpoint, allowing unauthenticated attackers to redirect reset tokens to attacker-controlled domains. Attackers can send password reset requests for any account with a malicious Host header, intercept the reset token from victim emails, and complete account takeover including super-admin accounts.

Fencer Intel keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.
The maintainers of getgrav/grav published their own advisory on GitHub. Reviewed sources take precedence over it.
