CVE-2025-1022
High 8.2
In plain English
A high-severity improper input validation in spatie/browsershot. Proof-of-concept exploit code is public. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.5% (higher than 40% of all known vulnerabilities). Fixed versions are available - upgrade the affected package.
Official description
Versions of the package spatie/browsershot before 5.0.5 are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation in the setHtml function, invoked by Browsershot::html(), which can be bypassed by omitting the slashes in the file URI (e.g., file:../../../../etc/passwd). This is due to missing validations of the user input that should be blocking file URI schemes (e.g., file:// and file:/) in the HTML content. **Note:** Further analysis has identified additional proof-of-concept exploits leveraging the vulnerable function. Developers using this package should ensure proper input validation to mitigate potential risks, as the issue remains unaddressed.
