Laravel is a web application framework. When the register_argc_argv php directive is set to on , and users call any URL with a special crafted query string, they are able to change the environment used by the framework when handling the request. The vulnerability fixed in 6.20.45, 7.30.7, 8.83.28, 9.52.17, 10.48.23, and 11.31.0. The framework now ignores argv values for environment detection on non-cli SAPIs.

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dla-3997 advisory.

    Package        : php-laravel-framework     Version        : 6.20.14+dfsg-2+deb11u2     CVE ID         : CVE-2024-52301     Debian Bug     : 1088189

    It was discovered that there was a remotely exploitable vulnerability     in php-laravel-framework, a popular web application framework written     in PHP.

    When the register_argc_argv php directive was set to on and users     called a URL with a specially-crafted query string, they were able to     change the environment used by the framework when handling the     request.

    Laravel now ignores argv values for environment detection on non-CLI     APIs.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version     6.20.14+dfsg-2+deb11u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your php-laravel-framework packages.

    For the detailed security status of php-laravel-framework please refer to     its security tracker page at:

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Symfony versions prior to 5.4.46 or 6.x prior to 6.4.14 or 7.x prior to 7.1.7 is vulnerable when the register_argc_argv php directive is set to 'on' and users call any URL with a special crafted query string, they are able to change the environment or debug mode used by the kernel when handling the request.

Note that since the vulnerable Symfony component is embedded in Laravel, the plugin is likely to detect a vulnerable Laravel instance.
