Browsershot version 3.57.3 vulnerable to improper input validation

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published Nov 25, 2022 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Apr 29, 2025

Package

composer spatie/browsershot (Composer)

Affected versions

< 3.57.4

Patched versions

3.57.4

Description

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
