Description
Versions of the package livewire/livewire from 3.3.5 and before 3.4.9 are vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS) when a page uses [Url] for a property. An attacker can inject HTML code in the context of the user's browser session by crafting a malicious link and convincing the user to click on it.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for livewire/livewire, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update livewire/livewire to 3.4.9 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2024-21504 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Escape or sanitise the affected output on the server side rather than relying on client-side filtering, and add a Content-Security-Policy that blocks inline script execution so injected markup cannot run even if it reaches the page.
