Library home page: https://api.github.com/repos/laravel/framework/zipball/d724ce0aa61bbd9adf658215eec484f5dd6711d6

Dependency Hierarchy: - :x: **laravel/framework-v5.5.40** (Vulnerable Library)

Found in base branch: master

Vulnerability Details

In Laravel Framework through 5.5.40 and 5.6.x through 5.6.29, remote code execution might occur as a result of an unserialize call on a potentially untrusted X-XSRF-TOKEN value. This involves the decrypt method in Illuminate/Encryption/Encrypter.php and PendingBroadcast in gadgetchains/Laravel/RCE/3/chain.php in phpggc. The attacker must know the application key, which normally would never occur, but could happen if the attacker previously had privileged access or successfully accomplished a previous attack.
