Summary
Rapyd Admin from 9.0.0 before 9.20.0 contains hard-coded credentials (CWE-798). The setup installer seeds an admin@laravel account with the password admin, and the AuthSeeder silently re-creates it on every rpd:make run. A remote unauthenticated attacker can log in with these credentials and gain super-admin access, bypassing per-record authorization and tenant scoping.

Description from the CNA
Rapyd Admin from 9.0.0 before 9.20.0 contains a hard-coded credentials vulnerability that allows remote unauthenticated attackers to gain super-admin access through an AuthSeeder-created admin@laravel account with password admin. The account is seeded by the setup installer and silently re-created on every rpd:make run, letting attackers log in as a global super admin bypassing per-record authorization and tenant scoping.
