CVE-2026-39976
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
Laravel Passport provides OAuth2 server support to Laravel. From 13.0.0 to before 13.7.1, there is an Authentication Bypass for client_credentials tokens. the league/oauth2-server library sets the JWT sub claim to the client identifier (since there's no user). The token guard then passes this value to retrieveById() without validating it's actually a user identifier, potentially resolving an unrelated real user. Any machine-to-machine token can inadvertently authenticate as an actual user. This vulnerability is fixed in 13.7.1.

La biblioteca league/oauth2-server establece la declaración sub de JWT al identificador del cliente (ya que no hay usuario). El token guard luego pasa este valor a retrieveById() sin validar que es realmente un identificador de usuario, resolviendo potencialmente un usuario real no relacionado. Cualquier token de máquina a máquina puede autenticarse inadvertidamente como un usuario real. Esta vulnerabilidad está corregida en la 13.7.1."
