Who can exploit CVE-2026-104181

Access: A normal, low-privilege user account in the app.

CVSS vector (scored by GitHub): CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L

Your app is only exposed if it uses the affected part of filament/filament. The advisory below says which part that is. If you are not sure, upgrade anyway: it costs less than finding out.

How to fix CVE-2026-104181 in filament/filament

Find the installed version: composer show filament/filament. If you never required it yourself, composer why filament/filament shows which package pulls it in.
Update it: composer update filament/filament --with-all-dependencies.
If Composer will not go that high, your composer.json constraint is holding it back. Widen it (for example "filament/filament": "^5.11.1" if you can take that version), or upgrade the package that requires it.
Run composer audit. It reads the same advisory data and should no longer list CVE-2026-104181.
Commit composer.lock and deploy it. On the server, run composer install --no-dev from the lock file, not composer update.

If you cannot upgrade yet

General hardening for authentication bypass issues while the upgrade waits. None of it replaces the fix.

Remove accounts you do not need and review what each role can do.
Put the admin area behind a VPN, IP allow-list or extra login until you upgrade.
If your app does not use the affected feature, note that in your audit, but still plan the upgrade.

The CVE-2026-104181 advisory

Filament is a collection of full-stack components for accelerated Laravel development. From 4.0.0 until 4.13.3 and 5.8.3, app-based multi-factor authentication management actions do not consistently require confirmation of the current password. An attacker with access to an authenticated user session can set up app-based MFA and obtain recovery codes, or disable app-based MFA and regenerate recovery codes by supplying an existing app code or recovery code, without knowing the account password. Email-based MFA is not affected, and the issue does not independently permit an unauthenticated sign-in, but changing the app-MFA configuration may lock the legitimate user out. This issue is fixed in versions 4.13.3 and 5.8.3.

Description from the CVE record, published by GitHub (the CVE Numbering Authority), via the NVD entry for CVE-2026-104181. Advisory title: “Filament: Multi-factor authentication (app) management actions do not require password reauthentication”.
