| Impact | CVSS 4.0 scores this 8.6 with PR:H, reflecting that admin credentials are an absolute prerequisite, substantially limiting the attack surface to insiders or compromised admin accounts. Real-world risk is elevated specifically in multi-tenant or shared-admin deployments where non-Superadmin administrators exist and are expected to be restricted from core system operations - the classic confused-deputy pattern between role tiers. EPSS data is not provided in the input and cannot be assessed. No CISA KEV listing exists and no POC is known at time of analysis. The 'Authentication Bypass' tag in the input is inaccurate: exploitation requires authenticated admin access; the flaw is privilege escalation within an authenticated session, not a bypass of the authentication mechanism. The provided CVSS 4.0 vector marks SC:N/SI:N/SA:N (no subsequent-system impact), which is arguably conservative given that code execution as the web server user provides access to environment secrets and database credentials - resources that clearly span beyond the application boundary; this discrepancy is noted. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 07, 2026
Incorrect authorization in Lara Dashboard before v1.3.2 permits any administrator holding the settings.edit permission - not just Superadmins - to upload arbitrary zip archives to the core upgrade endpoint, overwriting live PHP application source files. An authenticated non-Superadmin administrator can inject system commands into files such as routes/web.php, achieving code execution as the web server user with access to .env secrets and database credentials. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis; a vendor-released patch (v1.3.2) is available and the fix is confirmed by GHSA-xv98-x5h7-4g7v.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to Lara Dashboard v1.3.2, released at github.com/laradashboard/laradashboard/releases/tag/v1.3.2 and patched via commit 738cc1a219ce459323ef1d09c3789075f1b8d2f2. The security advisory is documented at GHSA-xv98-x5h7-4g7v and the VulnCheck advisory at vulncheck.com/advisories/lara-dashboard-before-1.3.2-incorrect-authorization-in-core-upgrade-archive-upload. If immediate upgrade is not feasible, block access to POST /admin/settings/core-upgrades/upload at the web server or reverse proxy layer for all non-Superadmin roles. As an alternative compensating control, remove the settings.edit permission from any administrator role that should not be able to perform core upgrades; note this may affect legitimate settings-editing workflows for those roles.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Lara Dashboard is a PHP/Laravel-based administrative panel. The vulnerable endpoint POST /admin/settings/core-upgrades/upload is governed by UploadRequest.php (L15-L18) and SettingPolicy.php (L47-L50), which authorize the operation on the settings.edit permission alone rather than enforcing Superadmin role. CoreUpgradeService.php (L543-L577) extracts the uploaded archive directly over the live application source tree without additional role verification. CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization) applies: an authorization check is performed but the permission gate is insufficient for the sensitivity of the operation, conflating a routine settings-edit privilege with the destructive capability of replacing application source code. Laravel's FormRequest authorization layer is the intended enforcement point, and the fix (commit 738cc1a) tightens that gate to Superadmin-only.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Lara Dashboard before 1.3.2 authorizes the POST /admin/settings/core-upgrades/upload endpoint with only the settings.edit permission, allowing non-Superadmin administrators to upload and extract arbitrary zip archives over the live application source code. Attackers can upload a malicious archive containing modified application files such as routes/web.php with embedded system commands, which execute as the web server user with access to environment secrets and database credentials.

Technical POC Analysis
The flaw is an authorization granularity bug in LaraDashboard's own admin backend, chained with an unrestricted code-replacement upload.
Full technical POC analysis - root cause, step-by-step exploitation and patch breakdown - is part of the Pro and Business plans.
Executive ViewAI
Lara Dashboard versions prior to 1.3.2 contain an authorization flaw that allows authenticated administrators with routine settings.edit permissions to upload and execute arbitrary code on production servers, obtaining direct access to environment secrets and database credentials. Organizations relying on Lara Dashboard face direct operational risk from insider threats and compromised administrator accounts leading to data exfiltration and application takeover.
