# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2020-24940

Advisory: Guard bypass in Eloquent models affecting Laravel illuminate database component
IDs: CVE-2020-24940, GHSA-c7rm-w2hj-x8g3
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2020-24940 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 14:24 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: High (CVSS 7.5)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Partial vendor fix; fixed versions by package: illuminate/database 7.23.2, 6.18.34. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Packagist illuminate/database: affected >= 5.5.0, <= 5.5.44; >= 6.0.0, < 6.18.34; >= 7.0.0, < 7.23.2; fixed in 6.18.34, 7.23.2

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Packagist illuminate/database: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on illuminate/database.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
