Title

backpack/crud: MyAccountController allows changing the login email without a current-password check

Summary

backpack/crud provides Create, Read, Update & Delete (CRUD) functions for Backpack, a collection of Laravel packages that help users build custom administration panels. From 6.0.0 until 6.8.14 and 7.0.38, MyAccountController::postAccountInfoForm at POST /admin/edit-account-info permits AccountInfoRequest to update backpack_authentication_column(), which is email by default, without requiring current_password or otherwise verifying the account's existing password. An attacker with a temporary authenticated Backpack session can change the account-recovery email and later use the password-reset flow after the original session expires, converting session compromise into persistent account takeover. The same mechanism permits an insider to set a personal recovery address before access is revoked. The separate password-change endpoint is not affected because it verifies old_password. This issue is fixed in versions 6.8.14 and 7.0.38.

GHSA-9FW9-8C49-QCH8

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-20 18:38 – Updated: 2026-08-20 18:38

Summary

Laravel Backpack CRUD: MyAccountController allows changing the login email without a current-password check

Details

Summary

MyAccountController::postAccountInfoForm allows an authenticated user to update the authentication column (default: email) without verifying their current password. Because email is the account-recovery anchor, this enables account takeover after the attacker's session ends: the new email address can be used to request a password reset from outside the system.

The password-change endpoint in the same controller correctly requires old_password verification, so the gap is asymmetric.

Details

The postAccountInfoForm action passes $request->validated() directly to $user->update(). The AccountInfoRequest whitelists the authentication column (email by default) with no ownership challenge. Contrast this with ChangePasswordRequest, which uses Hash::check against the stored password before allowing any change.

Scenarios where this is exploitable include: - A brief unauthorized session (e.g. unattended workstation, XSS in the admin panel) - An insider/offboarding case where a departing admin sets a personal email address before access is revoked, then resets the password after leaving

Patch

Fixed in #5990 — the authentication column is now protected by a current_password check (mirroring ChangePasswordRequest) whenever its value changes.

A stronger mitigation — sending a verification link to the new address before persisting the change — can be layered on top using Laravel's MustVerifyEmail flow.

Affected versions
