SCA: security update for laravel/framework (GHSA-qvqm-h22r-4cp9)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 432309

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- 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.
