Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org

Spatie Browsershot 2.2.0 before 5.5.0 contains a local file read vulnerability that allows attackers to read server files by supplying root-relative references in HTML passed to setHtml(). Attackers can embed iframe, img, link or script elements referencing paths like /etc/passwd, which resolve to file:// URLs and render file contents into the returned PDF or screenshot.

Variant candidates

Same product, same weakness class, within 18 months. If the patch missed the root cause, the sibling bug is here.

No nightly-computed relations.

Chain candidates

An authentication bypass and a privilege-requiring bug in the same product, published close together: combined they may become an unauthenticated path.
