# CVE-2026-54175: backpack/crud: Unverified password change in MyAccountController via mass assignment

- Also known as: GHSA-XPV2-HRFC-HW62
- Severity: CVSS 7.6 (High), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:L
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 6.8.11, 7.0.34
- Published: 2026-09-14 · Updated: 2026-09-14

## Affected

- Laravel-Backpack CRUD: fixed in 6.8.11; from 7.0.0, fixed in 7.0.34
- backpack/crud (Packagist): fixed in 6.8.11
- backpack/crud (Packagist): from 7.0.0-alpha.1, fixed in 7.0.34

## Description

backpack/crud provides Create, Read, Update & Delete (CRUD) functions for Backpack, a collection of Laravel packages that help users build custom administration panels. Prior to 6.8.11 and 7.0.34, MyAccountController::postAccountInfoForm in src/app/Http/Controllers/MyAccountController.php at POST /admin/edit-account-info passes request data from $request->except(['_token']) to the user model instead of restricting updates to fields accepted by AccountInfoRequest::validationData(). An attacker with an authenticated Backpack session can therefore mass-assign password, the authentication column, or other deployment-specific fillable attributes. With the default Laravel 11 user model, a submitted plaintext password is automatically hashed and persisted, converting temporary session access into persistent account takeover without the old_password check enforced by the separate password-change route. Changing the authentication email can also enable later password-reset takeover, while additional fillable security attributes can permit deployment-specific privilege escalation or security-control changes. This issue is fixed in versions 6.8.11 and 7.0.34.
