What is CVE-2026-96744?
CVE-2026-96744 is a high-severity code injection vulnerability in Laravel MongoDB (PHP), published on 24 Sep 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
Improper neutralization of special elements in data query logic in the cache lock implementation of the MongoDB integration for Laravel can cause a caller-supplied lock owner value to be evaluated as an aggregation expression rather than as a literal value. An authenticated user who can influence the owner value an application uses when acquiring or restoring a lock may take over or prematurely expire a lock held by another process, which can lead to duplicated or conflicting operations.
