Description

A vulnerability has been discovered in Laravel Pulse that could allow remote code execution through the public remember() method in the Laravel\Pulse\Livewire\Concerns\RemembersQueries trait. This method is accessible via Livewire components and can be exploited to call arbitrary callables within the application.

Impact

  • The callable is a function or static method
  • The callable has no parameters or no strict parameter types

Vulnerable Components

  • The remember(callable $query, string $key = '') method in Laravel\Pulse\Livewire\Concerns\RemembersQueries
