SCA: security update for backpack/crud (GHSA-9fw9-8c49-qch8)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 446139

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - backpack/crud provides Create, Read, Update & Delete (CRUD) functions for Backpack, a collection of
 Laravel packages that help users build custom administration panels. From 6.0.0 until 6.8.14 and 7.0.38,
 MyAccountController::postAccountInfoForm at POST /admin/edit-account-info permits AccountInfoRequest to
 update backpack_authentication_column(), which is email by default, without requiring current_password or
 otherwise verifying the account's existing password. An attacker with a temporary authenticated Backpack
 session can change the account-recovery email and later use the password-reset flow after the original
 session expires, converting session compromise into persistent account takeover. The same mechanism
 permits an insider to set a personal recovery address before access is revoked. The separate password-
 change endpoint is not affected because it verifies old_password. This issue is fixed in versions 6.8.14
 and 7.0.38. (CVE-2026-54176)

Solution

Update the backpack/crud library and its related packages to version 6.8.14 or later.
