Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an authenticated session holding the non-Superadmin administrator role on a Lara Dashboard instance prior to v1.3.2. The marketplace module browser feature must be accessible (default configuration). Unauthenticated users and standard non-admin users cannot exploit this vulnerability. The secondary supply-chain vector - substituting a malicious module payload - additionally requires network-position capability to intercept unsigned outbound HTTP between the dashboard server and the marketplace endpoint.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H) correctly captures that network reach is trivial but exploitation is gated behind an authenticated administrator account, substantially limiting the realistic attack surface to insider threats or compromised admin credentials. The full C:H/I:H/A:H impact is justified because arbitrary PHP module activation is functionally equivalent to remote code execution. No EPSS data was provided in the input; the vulnerability is not in CISA KEV, and no POC repository has been identified, so exploitation remains theoretical at time of analysis. Risk is most acute in multi-admin deployments where the administrator role is delegated to personnel who should not hold code-execution capability - even a mid-sized IT operations team running multiple dashboard instances should treat this as urgent patching work if non-Superadmin admin accounts are actively in use. The secondary unsigned-download vector elevates risk for deployments on networks where HTTP interception is feasible.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with non-Superadmin administrator credentials logs into a Lara Dashboard instance running v1.3.1 or earlier and directly invokes the installModule Livewire action against the marketplace browser, bypassing the Superadmin-only policy gate. The dashboard fetches and auto-activates a PHP module over unsigned HTTP; if the attacker or a network-adjacent adversary can redirect that download, a PHP webshell is installed and activated with the web server's OS privileges.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 07, 2026

Missing authorization on the MarketplaceModuleBrowser installModule Livewire action in Lara Dashboard before 1.3.2 permits any authenticated non-Superadmin administrator to install arbitrary PHP modules from the marketplace. Because module downloads occur over unsigned HTTP without integrity verification, an attacker holding an administrator credential can pull and auto-activate attacker-chosen PHP code, achieving remote code execution on the underlying server. The fix is available in v1.3.2; no public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Lara Dashboard to version 1.3.2 or later; the release includes commit 738cc1a219ce459323ef1d09c3789075f1b8d2f2, which adds the missing authorization gate to the installModule Livewire action. The fix and affected versions are detailed in GHSA-4x9p-vg5m-vr6p and the VulnCheck advisory at https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/lara-dashboard-before-1.3.2-missing-authorization-in-marketplace-module-install-action. If immediate upgrade is not feasible, eliminate all non-Superadmin administrator accounts so that only Superadmin-tier users exist - this removes the exploitable privilege tier entirely, though it may restrict operational workflows. Supplementarily, blocking outbound HTTP from the dashboard host to marketplace endpoints at the network perimeter prevents unsigned module downloads, but will also disable legitimate marketplace browsing.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Lara Dashboard is an open-source Laravel/PHP admin panel framework that uses Livewire for reactive UI components. The vulnerable component is the installModule action in app/Livewire/Marketplace/MarketplaceModuleBrowser.php (lines 76-120 in v1.3.1). The framework's ModulePolicy at app/Policies/ModulePolicy.php#L32-L38 defines module installation as a Superadmin-only capability, but the Livewire action omits the policy gate invocation before proceeding - a textbook CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) defect. Modules are fetched over plain HTTP with no cryptographic signature validation, compounding the risk: a network-position attacker could substitute a malicious payload during transit. The patch at commit 738cc1a219ce459323ef1d09c3789075f1b8d2f2 inserts the missing authorization check into the action handler and is shipped in v1.3.2.

DescriptionCVE.org

Lara Dashboard before 1.3.2 fails to authorize the MarketplaceModuleBrowser installModule Livewire action, allowing non-Superadmin administrators to install modules. Attackers can download and auto-activate arbitrary PHP modules from the marketplace over unsigned HTTP requests, achieving remote code execution.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Lara Dashboard before v1.3.2 allows authorized administrators to install arbitrary PHP modules that achieve remote code execution on web servers. Organizations using this platform risk complete infrastructure compromise through either credential compromise or insider misuse, as the attack requires only standard administrator access.
