Versions of the package spatie/browsershot before 5.0.5 are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation due to improper URL validation through the setUrl method, which results in a Local File Inclusion allowing the attacker to read sensitive files. **Note:** This is a bypass of the fix for [CVE-2024-21549](https://security.snyk.io/vuln/SNYK-PHP-SPATIEBROWSERSHOT-8533023).
