MediumCVSS 6.1 · v3.0—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 24/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.95% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 62% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. A user must open a link or visit a page. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: illuminate/auth (Packagist) 5.4.22; laravel/framework (Packagist) 5.4.22; laravel/laravel (Packagist) 5.4.22.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to illuminate/auth (Packagist) 5.4.22; laravel/framework (Packagist) 5.4.22; laravel/laravel (Packagist) 5.4.22 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

Laravel 5.4.x before 5.4.22 does not properly constrain the host portion of a password-reset URL, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct phishing attacks by specifying an attacker-controlled host.
