grav-plugin-database is the database plugin for Grav CMS. Prior to 1.2.0, Database::__call builds PDO DSN strings by directly concatenating user-configurable YAML values from fields such as host, dbname, charset, server, database, directory, and filename without sanitization or validation, allowing an administrator with plugin configuration access to inject DSN attributes or path traversal values. This issue is fixed in version 1.2.0.

Fencer Vulns 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.

CPEs and fixed versions use Anchore's correction of NVD's data: Added CPE configurations because not yet analyzed by NVD.
