Auth bypass in Laradashboard
CVE-2026-86437
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.
