## Affected

- getgrav grav-plugin-api: fixed in 1.0.0-rc.16

## Description

Grav API Plugin is a RESTful API for Grav CMS that provides full headless access to your site's content. Prior to 1.0.0-rc.16, the Grav API plugin JwtAuthenticator::extractBearerToken() accepts a JWT from the token URL query parameter on every /api/v1 route, including state-changing endpoints. Request URLs consequently expose valid access tokens through Apache, proxy, and CDN logs, browser history, and Referer headers, allowing a party with access to those records to reuse the token with the owner's API privileges. This issue is fixed in version 1.0.0-rc.16.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on getgrav grav-plugin-api, upgrade to a fixed version (1.0.0-rc.16) per the references below.
