Last updated on: 2026-09-05

Assigner: VulnCheck

Description
Lara Dashboard before 1.3.0 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the screenshot-login route that allows unauthenticated attackers to authenticate as any user by email when APP_ENV is not production. Attackers can request the GET /screenshot-login/{email} endpoint with a registered email address to receive a fully authenticated session, enabling access to user administration, settings, database contents, and arbitrary code execution through the module installer.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is an authentication bypass in Lara Dashboard versions before 1.3.0. It allows unauthenticated attackers to log in as any user by email via the GET /screenshot-login/{email} endpoint when the application is not in a production environment. The endpoint was intended for testing but acts as a backdoor, granting full administrative access including user management, database access, and arbitrary code execution through module installation.

Detection Guidance

Check if the vulnerable endpoint GET /screenshot-login/{email} is accessible on your system. Use curl to test: curl -v http://your-server/screenshot-login/test@example.com. If the server responds with a session cookie or redirects to a dashboard, the vulnerability is present.

Impact Analysis

Exploitation allows attackers to gain full administrative control over the Lara Dashboard instance. This includes creating, editing, or deleting users, roles, and permissions, installing arbitrary modules that can execute PHP code, modifying system settings, accessing the database, and altering email configurations. The impact is severe as it enables complete system compromise in non-production environments.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability can severely impact compliance with GDPR and HIPAA by enabling unauthorized access to sensitive data. Attackers could exfiltrate personal data, modify records, or gain administrative privileges to bypass security controls. Non-compliance risks include legal penalties, data breach notifications, and reputational damage due to unauthorized access to protected health or personal information.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade to Lara Dashboard version 1.3.0 or later. If upgrading is not immediately possible, remove the /screenshot-login route from your application or restrict access by adding environment checks and authentication requirements.
