• Bypassing of per-record authorization and tenant scoping
• Possible exploitation by remote unauthenticated attackers
• Verification of exposure and remediation priority

Technical summary

Rapyd Admin versions 9.0.0 before 9.20.0 contain a hard-coded super-admin credentials vulnerability via AuthSeeder. This vulnerability allows remote unauthenticated attackers to gain super-admin access. The vulnerability is caused by the setup installer seeding an admin@laravel account with password admin, which is silently re-created on every rpd:make run. Defenders should verify exposure, prioritize remediation, and monitor for potential unauthorized access to prevent bypassing of per-record authorization and tenant scoping.

Defensive priority

Rapyd Admin versions 9.0.0 before 9.20.0 contain a hard-coded super-admin credentials vulnerability via AuthSeeder. Defenders should verify exposure, prioritize remediation, and monitor for potential unauthorized access.

Recommended defensive actions

• Verify Rapyd Admin version and check for exposure
• Remediate by upgrading to version 9.20.0 or later
• Monitor for potential unauthorized access
• Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified
• Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review
• Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented
• Confirm whether affected product deployments exist in managed environments and assign an owner for follow-up
