Laravel has patched a critical TokenGuard flaw that could allow an attacker to access an existing user’s account without that user’s valid API token, The Hacker News reported on October 22. Laravel says the risk arises under certain MySQL or MariaDB database configurations.
TokenGuard is Laravel’s built-in component for checking API tokens—credentials applications use to control access. The check should reject an invalid credential. In the affected configurations, Laravel says, it can instead match a different user’s database record.
Laravel says the problem occurs when the authentication lookup mishandles a specially crafted credential that is not a string, or text value. The database query can then select an unintended user record rather than reject the request.
That could let someone who has not signed in authenticate as another user, Laravel says. The resulting account-takeover risk applies to routes—application paths that handle requests—protected by the affected guard.
The vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2026-114509. For operators using affected TokenGuard configurations, Laravel releases 13.29.0 and 12.68.0 contain the fix.
