Versions of the package spatie/browsershot before 5.0.3 are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation due to improper URL validation through the setUrl method. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by utilizing view-source:file://, which allows for arbitrary file reading on a local file. **Note:** This is a bypass of the fix for [CVE-2024-21544](https://security.snyk.io/vuln/SNYK-PHP-SPATIEBROWSERSHOT-8496745).
