CVE-2026-110630 in Laravel CRM
Summary
by MITRE • 10/14/2026
VentureDrake Laravel CRM before 2.4.0 contains an incorrect authorization vulnerability in user management that allows authenticated administrators to assign unrestricted roles via Role::find. Attackers with user-management access can assign the Owner role or other teams' roles and delete cross-team users through the unscoped UserIndex delete() method.

The identified security flaw resides within VentureDrake Laravel CRM versions prior to 2.4.0, specifically targeting the application's user management subsystem. This vulnerability is classified as an incorrect authorization issue, which fundamentally undermines the principle of least privilege by allowing authenticated users with administrative privileges over user accounts to bypass intended access controls. The core technical deficiency lies in how role assignments are processed through the Role::find method without adequate scoping or validation against team boundaries. In a properly secured multi-tenant environment, an administrator should only be able to assign roles that belong to their own organization or team. However, due to this implementation error, the application fails to restrict role selection to the current tenant's scope, thereby exposing all available roles in the system to potential manipulation by any user with access to the user management interface.
This architectural weakness enables a malicious actor who has obtained legitimate credentials for an account with user-management permissions to escalate privileges significantly. By exploiting the unscoped nature of Role::find, the attacker can select and assign the Owner role or other high-privilege roles that are typically restricted to specific organizational leaders. Furthermore, the vulnerability extends beyond simple privilege escalation through role assignment. The UserIndex delete() method is also implemented without proper scoping constraints. This allows an authenticated administrator with user-management access to target and delete users belonging to different teams within the same instance of the CRM system. Such cross-team deletion capabilities violate data isolation expectations in multi-tenant architectures, potentially leading to significant operational disruption and loss of critical business data associated with other organizational units.
From a threat modeling perspective, this vulnerability aligns closely with CWE-269, which denotes Improper Privilege Management, as well as CWE-862, Missing Authorization, because the application fails to enforce proper access control policies for specific resources or functions. In terms of offensive security frameworks, this behavior is consistent with MITRE ATT&CK technique T1078, Valid Accounts, where an attacker leverages legitimate credentials to perform unauthorized actions that are typically restricted by role-based access controls. The ability to assign unrestricted roles effectively allows the attacker to maintain persistent administrative control over compromised accounts or entire teams, while the capability to delete cross-team users represents a severe integrity violation that can be used for denial of service or data destruction purposes.
The operational impact of this vulnerability is substantial, particularly in environments where multiple independent teams or organizations share a single deployment of VentureDrake Laravel CRM. An attacker could compromise one administrative account and subsequently take control over other teams by assigning themselves the Owner role within those teams. This lateral movement capability allows for widespread system compromise without needing to exploit additional vulnerabilities on different servers or instances. Additionally, the ability to delete users from other teams can cause significant business continuity issues, as it removes access for legitimate employees and potentially deletes associated data if cascading deletion rules are in place. The lack of proper isolation between tenant boundaries transforms a standard administrative function into a powerful tool for systemic abuse.
To mitigate this vulnerability, organizations running VentureDrake Laravel CRM versions earlier than 2.4.0 must upgrade to the patched version immediately. This update addresses the scoping issues within both the role assignment logic and the user deletion mechanism. Until an upgrade is feasible, administrators should enforce strict monitoring of administrative actions, particularly focusing on any changes to user roles or deletions that involve users outside the immediate team scope. Implementing additional backend validation layers that explicitly check tenant IDs against resource ownership before processing requests can serve as a compensating control. Furthermore, adopting a defense-in-depth strategy by limiting the number of accounts with broad user-management privileges reduces the attack surface available for exploitation. Regular audits of role assignments and deletion logs are recommended to detect any unauthorized cross-team activities promptly.
