CVE-2026-120488

LaraDashboard before 1.4.5 contains an incorrect authorization vulnerability in SettingPolicy::manageCoreUpgrades() that allows non-Superadmin administrators with settings.edit to access Superadmin-only core-upgrade operations. Attackers can use the /admin/settings/core-upgrades backup, download, restore and upgrade actions.

LaraDashboard 1.4.0 before 1.4.9 contains an improper authorization vulnerability that allows authenticated users with read-only email_template.view permission to send arbitrary emails via the MCP send-email tool. Attackers can mint an MCP token and call send-email with any recipient, subject, and raw HTML body.

LaraDashboard from 1.4.0 before 1.4.8 contains a race condition vulnerability in RegisterController::register that allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass the per-IP daily registration limit. Attackers can send many concurrent registration requests from one IP so all pass RegistrationGuardService::hasExceededIpLimit before recordRegistration runs, creating accounts in bulk and defeating anti-automation controls.

LaraDashboard before 1.4.8 contains an incorrect authorization vulnerability that allows authenticated users with only settings.view permission to read stored secrets through the settings API. Attackers can query GET /api/settings or /api/settings/{option_name} to retrieve plaintext AI provider API keys, mail credentials, passwords and tokens.

LaraDashboard before 1.4.8 contains an open redirect vulnerability that allows remote attackers to redirect users by supplying an unvalidated redirect_url parameter to EmailTemplateController builder and builderEdit. Attackers can send crafted builder links to logged-in users with email template permissions so saving a template navigates them to attacker-controlled phishing sites.

LaraDashboard 1.4.2 before 1.4.8 applies advanced email validation to unauthenticated forgot-password and reset-password requests, triggering DNS lookups and paid AbstractAPI verification calls. Unauthenticated attackers can submit arbitrary addresses to exhaust the verification quota, making validation fail open for all public forms, and probe domain resolution.

LaraDashboard before 1.4.8 contains an improper privilege management vulnerability that allows authenticated Admin users to escalate to Superadmin by editing or renaming roles. Attackers with role.edit can rename their role to Superadmin or grant user.login_as permissions to take over accounts and reach core upgrade and module installation functions for code execution.

LaraDashboard before 1.4.8 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to read JSON files by manipulating the {lang} route segment. On Windows hosts, attackers can send URL-encoded backslash sequences like ..%5C to escape resources/lang and read composer.json or other application JSON files.

laradashboard through 1.2.2 contains a missing authorization vulnerability in the Local License API endpoints that allows any authenticated user to read, overwrite, and delete premium module license keys. Attackers with low-privileged accounts can access GET /api/admin/licenses/show, POST /api/admin/licenses/store, and POST /api/admin/licenses/remove endpoints to disclose confidential license keys, inject attacker-controlled values, or delete stored licenses entirely.

LaraDashboard versions 0.9.2 through 1.2.2 contain a path traversal vulnerability in core-upgrade backup handling. CoreUpgradeController and BackupService concatenate the user-supplied backup_file/filename value directly onto the backup directory path without normalisation, without basename(), and without verifying that the resolved path remains inside storage/app/core-backups; an authenticated user holding only the delegated settings.edit permission can supply ../ traversal sequences to delete arbitrary files or restore a ZIP archive from an arbitrary on-disk location, writing arbitrary files into application directories and achieving remote code execution.
