Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Laravel framework versions before 12.68.0, and from 13.0.0 before 13.29.0, have an authentication bypass in the built-in TokenGuard when it is configured with a standard token-based API guard. On MySQL or MariaDB databases, an unauthenticated attacker who submits a specially crafted non-string credential can match another existing user's record and log in as that user without their API token, gaining access to routes protected by that guard. Upgrade laravel/framework to 12.68.0, 13.29.0, or a later release.
