Publication date: 2026-10-04

Last updated on: 2026-10-04

Assigner: VulnCheck

Description
LaraDashboard before 1.4.8 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to read JSON files by manipulating the {lang} route segment. On Windows hosts, attackers can send URL-encoded backslash sequences like ..%5C to escape resources/lang and read composer.json or other application JSON files.

Executive Summary

LaraDashboard before version 1.4.8 has a path traversal vulnerability in the /api/translations/{lang} endpoint. Attackers can manipulate the {lang} parameter to read arbitrary JSON files on the server by using URL-encoded sequences like ..%5C to escape the intended resources/lang directory. This allows access to sensitive files such as composer.json.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, check if your LaraDashboard version is below 1.4.8. Test the /api/translations/{lang} endpoint by sending requests with path traversal sequences like ..%5C or ..%2F to see if it returns sensitive files such as composer.json or version.json.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to read sensitive files on the server, including configuration files, database backups, or application source code. On Windows systems, attackers can use encoded backslashes to bypass path restrictions and access restricted directories.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, violating GDPR's data protection principles and HIPAA's security requirements. Exposure of configuration files or backups may result in non-compliance with these regulations, potentially leading to legal and financial penalties.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update LaraDashboard to version 1.4.8 or later. If updating is not possible, implement strict input validation for the {lang} parameter, restricting it to alphanumeric characters, underscores, or hyphens. Use Laravel's Path::isWithin() to ensure file access is confined to the resources/lang directory.
