laravel/framework

source listed
  • ECOSYSTEM: introduced 0; fixed 6.20.42

A security researcher has disclosed a possible XSS vulnerability in the Blade templating engine. Given the following two Blade templates: resources/views/parent.blade.php: ```html @section('content') @show ``` resources/views/child.blade.php: ```html @extends('parent') @section('content') @endsection ``` And a route like the following: ```php Route::get('/example', function() { $value = '//localhost/###parent-placeholder-040f06fd774092478d450774f5ba30c5da78acc8## onclick=location.assign(this.value);//'; return view('child', ['value' => $value]); }); ``` The broken HTML element may be clicked and the user is taken to another location in their browser due to XSS. This is due to the user being able to guess the parent placeholder SHA-1 hash by trying common names of sections. If the parent template contains an exploitable HTML structure an XSS vulnerability can be exposed. This vulnerability has been patched by determining the parent placeholder at runtime and using a random hash that is unique to each request.

A fixed release is not deployment evidence.

Check current vendor support and compatibility. After making a change, verify the deployed build and relevant runtime conditions. Keep the evidence, owner and time. An updated lockfile alone does not prove what is running.
