CVE-2026-109566: Rapyd Admin hard-coded credentials in AuthSeeder

CVE-2026-109566 · Severity: critical · CVSS 9.8 · Published 2026-10-12

Rapyd Admin is an open-source admin panel for Laravel applications. Versions 9.0.0 through 9.19.x contain hard-coded credentials that allow remote attackers to log in as a super-admin without authentication. The default credentials (admin@laravel / admin) are created during initial setup and automatically recreated when database seeding runs, enabling account takeover and complete system compromise.

Technical details

The AuthSeeder class in Rapyd Admin uses firstOrCreate() to establish a super-admin account with a hard-coded email (admin@laravel) and password hash for 'admin', without option to disable this behavior. An unauthenticated network attacker with access to the admin panel can authenticate using these credentials and gain global super-admin privileges, bypassing all per-record authorization and tenant isolation controls. The vulnerability affects all versions from 9.0.0 to 9.19.x; version 9.20.0 and later contain the fix.
